Installatie 1931 - 1937

This photograph shows some kind of agricultural installation. It's a black and white shot so it’s difficult to tell, but I can imagine it in industrial yellows, reds, and greens. Looking at this photo, I imagine what it would have been like to build this installation. The artist must have been thinking about process, and thinking about labor. This photograph of the installation is clearly about structure, but it's also about this idea of making – building a framework and then filling it with something. I think about how the artist might have looked at other industrial creations for inspiration, engaging in an ongoing conversation and exchange of ideas across time, inspiring one another’s creativity. The forms are so interesting here and so carefully constructed, and it becomes this kind of embodied expression, which embraces ambiguity and uncertainty, allowing for multiple interpretations.
