Press release by Hiji Nam
Process:
I take a sheet of plexi and place it on top of a wooden board, where magnetic black pigments are piled up at one end. Further, I tilt the wooden board, lifting the end with the pigments, making the loose pigments fall down the sheet creating a pattern. The wooden board is removed and the transparent sheets with loose pigment are carefully installed hanging in front of the windows in the exhibition space from the top of the window sill. The falling movement is installed going upwards instead of downwards.
The process is site-specific for the exhibition space of Obra, Lund.
