Sacrifice (Representation)
1988
Coconut plant, iron, photographic print, soil
The process I followed each time this work was shown was to take a photograph of the coconut leaves, cut them out according to the shape of the photographic print and stick the image on the wall as a replacement. This work was shown twice and although I took care to water the coconut, the plant died on both occasions. Another example of the theme of fixation, but this time pointing to the fact that representation ends with the phenomenon it represents.
