No picture available [081122], 2008
48 x 64 in.
Digital keying paint and thermochromic ink on canvas
" No Picture Available [081122]" is a large canvas painted with thermochromic ink and digital keying paint used in film and photo studios as a background for digital composite images. It is a surface where everything and anything is possible: a surface waiting to become a picture. As this one (image) appears in certain atmospheric conditions (here temperature of the room), the spectator is once again sent back to nothingness as a tautological message reads: "no picture available at this time". The ephemeral nature of an exhibition is expressed... coming back... soon...
