Plastic 3D imprint of sold Early Research Method #1 (re-edited)
3 x 29 x 43 cm
#1 (re-edited) belongs to a series of 3D prints documenting the Early Research Methods sculptures.
When an Early Research Method is sold, before being handed to the collector, a 3D resin replica is made. Through this technical and economic transformation, the language from the Early Research Method dissipates, though its form solidifies, and the novel itself continues elsewhere. A living system fossilises.
Dialogue migrates.
