Museum

By  Nick Cass 1998

Nick Cass

An illusory museum consisting of seven empty plinths. Plinths become the subject of a theoretical viewpoint (the perspective station point) and a real viewpoint, the position of the spectator. By overlaying references to ideal and real viewpoints, a complex web of narrative references is created.
