GUILLOTINE OF SUNLIGHT ...
1.4 million sheets of paper in forty different colors, sequenced and stacked to form a spectrum interrupted by architecture. A single wall cuts the work in half, with one half of the spectrum on one side of the wall, the other half of the spectrum on the other side of the same wall – thus in two entirely different exhibition spaces.
