Time-lapse

The cutting of the Sun bed

Table 2024 Installation 

"As a visitor approaches the table, a motion sensor activates. Clamped to the table are two transducers, emitting an audio recording recounting a field trip to France to visit a beekeeper and his hives.

On the table lies a sheet of linoleum, marked with a traced drawing of the woven latticework of a PVC sunbed. The tools required to begin the work are ready and waiting.

As you listen to the sound of the beekeeper’s smoker calming the bees and his instructions on where best to place the mic, the beekeeper tends to the hives, the bees busy themselves, and the table is set for work—yet the artist remains absent."

Several prints of the Sun bed, captured in its folded state, are left drying against the workshop walls, still held in their wooden registration frames. As the afternoon sun moves across the floor, it briefly illuminates the translucent paper, transforming the workshop into an animated stage.
