“Произведение труда”-N1

PT

“Произведение труда” – это объект, который может быть интерпретирован  как камертон для  настройки внимания зрителя на определенную эмоциональную волну восприятия без усложняющих процесс понимания философских отсылок и сносок.

PT-2

В течение нескольких месяцев автор методично распиливал обычный “ломик-гвоздодер”, который затем отполировал до зеркального блеска и соединил заново.

PT-3

В результате этой безыскусной, но энергоемкой работы объект реди-мейд лишился своей основной функции орудия труда, став  “произведением труда”, а заодно и произведением искусства.
