Dark Matter Redux

1998

44 x 24 x 360"

fruitcake in trench

"Tinned Wall/Dark Matter" was disassembled in October 1997, as pictured above. Its fruitcake contents were removed to The Djerassi Foundation in Woodside, California and re-stacked in the form of a serpentine wall in a field there. The piece was sited on a hillside that sloped at the rate of the height of the wall over its length. The "bricks" were stacked in a narrow level trench, so that the resulting fruitcake wall was completely underground at one end, and completely visible at the other.

​

The fruitcakes were left exposed to the elements and the local wildlife.
