DescriptionA sculpture composed of books, magazines and a video projection. The books and magazines are stacked on top of one another in a skewed orientation. The cover of the top book of the stack opens, revealing a tiny video screen/player. The cover of the book has a small circle cut at the center revealing a bit of the screen. The books pages are carved out, so the media player is set into it. The stacked sculpture (a) is accompanied by a DVD player (b), remote (c), two varying chords that connect to DVD player and a wall outlet (d & e), hard drive (f), cord for hard drive and media player (g), two SD cards and a case (h, i, & j), a DVD disk and case (k & L), and magnifying glass (m).
