折鶴, 2011

Three tripod-mounted camcorders and videos

Translating to "folded paper crane," 折鶴 looks, literally, to Dorothea Rockburne's 'Arena III,' a folded vellum piece from 1978. Origami figures—of a penguin, for instance—appear on the camcorders' viewfinders. 折鶴 was for the Cranbrook Art Museum's grand re-opening exhibition, which put contemporary artists in dialogue with works from the permanent collection.

Special thanks to Ben Wolf Noam.
