Miscommunication 2005.
Paper, Scissors, string.
Size varies with installation.
Sheets of clear/white paper with words cut out/off. Some of the letters are difficult to read since the cut off words are not accurate/legible, making the meaning difficult to figure out. The paper can be on the wall, hanging in mid-air (suspended from the ceiling by string), and pasted to a glass window or door. This way it can be seen from two sides. Some words or sentences/fragments can be facing one direction, the other side the opposite direction. It can symbolize the two viewpoints/perspectives in a situation/dialogue/monologue/argument on the same subject. I would like the words to talk about the place (i.e. door: discuss the meaning of doors, i.e. windows: the meaning of windows). This shows how miscommunication can occur because of language, semantics, not clearly being able to express oneself (just a thought).
