Description
Contemporary Art Lee, Ji-Hyun Christie’s. 2008. Catalogue using the ‘pluck-off’ technique. 27 x 21 x 6 cm. – In very good condition overall. With her ‘pluck-off’ technique, Ji-Hyun Lee draws on a tradition of book art and destructive intervention that stretches from Dieter Roth through Brian Dettmer to Tom Phillips’ *A Humument*, thus following in the footsteps of artists who view the book not as a medium but as a material. The layer-by-layer plucking and removal of the catalogue pages transforms the two-dimensional printed matter into a three-dimensional object, which simultaneously becomes a record of a time-consuming, manual process.
