Untitled fits
within a category of transfixed objects. This category contains objects that
gain a certain autonomy from an internal rigour which is revealed in its
dimensions, plan or cross section. Perhaps it functionally and formally most
resembles a column. It serves no other purpose than to present itself in the
room and organize it as such. From a series of notches on the object’s side,
one can read the exact height of the room. Through a horizontal section it
reveals both a balance and an internal contradiction. The iconic I-beam is
mirrored by a counterfeit composite of two T-sections. At first glance, the
object appears to be archetypal. On a second sight, it can only be seen as
self-sabotaging.
