EXPLOSION PIECE

Used library books
Dimensions Vary

Explosion Piece is an installation of physical interventions:
1. Begin with an existing object.
2. Blow it up, but let the newly separate parts keep their meaning.
3. Collect the fragments.
4. Reassemble them to create something new.

Each book once served as an archive—a furniture encyclopedia, an antique collection catalogue, a museum inventory list—that was deconstructed or transformed. This new, intervened archive questions how meaning can be (re)made when texts and images are reassembled. It interrogates the book as an artifact, exploring the human impulse to make sense of the world.

Rebecca is a Montreal-born graphic designer and visual artist with a background in commercial photography and visual identity design who has worked in over 20 countries worldwide. She is interested in translation, design processes, tools and labor, and her self-directed work often investigates the fraught interconnectedness of design and capital, deploying performance as a tactic to expose the otherwise invisible labor of design. Rebecca frequently brings conversation and collaboration into her design process, and her work manifests across various mediums and materials from print publications and websites to video art and physical installations.
