Page 11,083 of 11,083, 2010. BF | B | 11083 sheets of A4 office paper; height: 125 cm. The work plays with the viewer's expectations of what constitutes sculpture: only at a close distance it can be recognized that the white cuboid consists of sheets of A4 office paper, meticulously stacked one on top of the other. Each page is blank except for the page number in the order in which they were printed to reach the set height. | |
Peel, 2003. BF | B | Video projection on a wall. The empty white walls of the gallery raise the expectation that objects will be shown. But instead, with her soundless video projection Peel, Ceal Floyer created the impression that the exhibition wall would peel off – layer after layer after layer after layer, endlessly. In reality, nothing disappears.
