Description
Black
and
white
photo-collage
; "This
collage
makes
use
of
photographs
of a
project
carried
out
by
Matta
Clark
in
Englewood
,
New
Jersey
,
which
involved
him
splitting
apart
a
house
that was
due
for
demolition
.
Having
divided
the
house
in
half
by
making
two
parallel
cuts
through
it
and
removing
the
intervening
section
,
Matta
Clark
then
split
it
by
removing
part
of the
foundations
on
one
side
and
tilting
that
half
of the
building
backwards.

; "A
coda
is
provided
by the
work
of the
American
Gordon
Matta
Clark
(the
son
of the
Chilean
Surrealist
Roberto
Matta)
,
who
carried
out
quasi-Situationist
incursions
into the
city's
fabric
up
until
his
death
in
1978
,
literally
cutting
into and
piercing
condemned
buildings
. This
'anarchitecture'
involved
him, on
one
occasion
, in
slicing
a
building
in
two
halves
,
revealing
,
like
an
anatomist
, the
inner
processes
of
one
of the
'suburban
and
urban
boxes'
that he
deemed
responsible
for
'insuring
a
passive
,
isolated
consumer'
addicted
to
privacy
and
private
property.
