Baldessari



In his work called 'Throwing 4 Balls in the Air to Get a Square' the artist tries to do as the title suggests. In my estimation he throws tomatoes at the documentary project by implying that formalism and the modernist documentary project are redundant.

A central image in my N1 project has been a this shot which refers to his failed attempt to get a square. The balls to right of frame particularly.

The N1 project never really shows the Road, it exists by implication. And Africa is beset with easy, centralised images of itself.
