863

an installation by c marquez

 

 POSTPONED

 

The installation “863” is a 3D wall suspended installation created by 863 points of connection. The piece is made from dried seedpods and cross sections of stalks from the sisymbrium altissimum (tall tumble mustard) plant.  a web-like environment, of natural materials, tangled but organized, with 863 jewels of connection keeping the piece together. This piece was inspired by a critical chronology of 863 units of time that bridge two separate but parallel lives in relationship. With communication lines vital to relational success, this piece speaks to a vital and precious apparatus: understanding one another through constructive and sustained communication.

People have always been finding ways to look inside, behind, and beyond.  With the invention of the endoscopic camera we can now easily look inside holes and pipes and bodies.Today endoscopes are routinely used for arthroscopic surgery, and colonoscopy. Plumbers have adopted the technology for diagnosing blockages, feeding borescopes deep into household and municipal sewer pipes. As the technology had blossomed, uses for the endoscope have expanded. Mechanics look inside machines, biologists look inside underground nests, and treasure hunters look into storm drains.
