Black screens - The Rectangle, 2004-2020
VHS
Work: 240 x 432 cm

_Black Screen_ (2005) appears as a large format painting constituted by VHS cassette tapes. The analogue tapes appear back-to-front beside each other, reflecting the obsolete nature of the technology, which contains what we have seen, or think we have seen, what we have been exposed to, and what remains hidden.
