| Is keeping something on our shelves active or passive?
Does our participation end when an object is deposited on a shelf? What would happen if we had to continually decide whether or not to keep an object that we have left on a shelf? The answer could be found in a shelf which keep on throwing away objects that had been there for too long. The Shelf Life installation is a 4.5m high rotating shelf which moves at an average speed of only 1 revolution per 7 months. 20cm high glass letters, making up the name of the piece were placed on nine of the 30 shelves and, from mid June till September 2011, slowly moved until salvation or destructionl. |
