The Work Behind The Image @ Richard Alpert. 1976
- ALPERT Richard, The Work Behind The Image, Benicia Art Center, Benicia, Ca., 1976.
This piece was performed in a stairwell between the first and second floors of a building. The piece was visible from only two separate viewpoints. The first view was of a paper-covered doorway to this stairwell in the first floor entryway of the building. The other, on the second floor, was visible only through a ten inch pool of water suspended in clear vinyl above the stairwell. My activity consisted of generated light from a small bulb hung midway between myself and the pool of water. The performance lasted one hour.
