Cut-ups, 2010, transfer on wall approx. 250 x 300 cm, curved security mirror 79 cm diameter

"The cut-up is actually closer to the facts of perception than representational painting. Take a walk down a city street and put down what you have just seen on canvas. You have seen a person cut in two by a car, bits and pieces of street signs and advertisements, reflections from shop windows - a montage of fragments. Writing is still confined to the representational straitjacket of the novel ... consciousness is a cut up. Every time you walk down the street or look out of the window, your stream of consciousness is cut by random factors."

William S. Burroughs

For this installation I was inspired by the idea of the cut-ups, a literature movement and the information society.

I' ve googled each word of an interview of William Burroughs were he describes what is a cut up.
