De-reconstructing Pompeii

Altered bookwork. 2006?

In the collection of the Toronto Public Library.

This was a book with pictures of pompeii ruins. On top, pieces of acetate have illustrations of what the buildings would have looked like before the volcano. By taking out the pages of the ruins, i was able to create a futuristic cityscape of all the acetates that deconstructs as you flip the pages. Its about cyclical patterns of memory and interpretations of the future using the past. Its hard to explain, but very deep.

The world is a vampire.
