kinetic installation, 7.5H x 10W ft, steel blinds, window blind opener, motor 




Thirty-seven hot rolled steel blinds, each one 7 feet tall, and 3.5 inches wide, are unified in a simple motion of opening and closing at their own programmed pace. A white rod , separated from an actual set of vertical blinds, introduces an illusion of control within the beauty and violence of the installation which suggests a hostile border.
