Collecting Piece II (1963 Autumn): "Break a contemporary museum into pieces with the means you have chosen. Collect the pieces and put them together again with glue"
I choose the camera to disassemble Yoko Ono's exhibition at Tate Modern. To observe and photograph the interaction of others with the installations.
Capturing a moment of thought before moving the next chess piece..
Waiting for those walking through a blue seascape to create their own fleeting tableau...
Observing sons and daughters reading of other mothers...
Transient moments in time. And when its over, the opportunity to create another moment...
Light Piece (1963 Autumn)": Carry an empty bag. Go to the top of the hill. Pour all the light you can in it. Go home when it's dark. Hang the bag in the middle of your room in place of a light bulb"
