The Death of Cattelan, A Story in Stereo, 2011

 

The Death of Cattelan, Mixed media on paper, 16 pages (complete dossier as PDF)

The narrator tells of his wife’s disappearance and Maurizio Cattelan’s demise, while they were set to preview an art project realized in a Pygmy village in Congo. The story is told by circling letters in texts culled from different sources, from books to news items published as the work was made, and so, the reader encounters two different narratives on each page. A change of the circles’ color indicates a new word.
