Installation for Infinite Games

Skram (WORKING TITLE) 2017

A telescope inside the third-floor apartment at OHC is trained on a distant rooftop. There, visible only through the telescope, is a construction made from discarded CPS furniture. The piece offers a view separated by distance but collapsed by optics, focused on a tiny point in the complex urban cityscape.
