Michael Druks

1973

Installation
Materials: adhesive letters, photographs, bristolpaper

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp.

Reordering of Communication: Forgery/Action is a collage of 5 colored dubble photographs where Micheal Druks makes an attempt to form the space of media. It is one of the early artworks where there is a direct inclusion of television in art. This work is reclaiming the physical space of experience from the mediatised space; subjugating the space of media that to the contingency of where it is received; towards the experience as a reference.
