A poem about seeds, storage, lost objects and the unfixed self is arranged around Hondius’s allegory of creation. Mapplethorpe’s photograph of a contemplating man is inserted in the center of the painting. Both images were cropped into an elliptical shape as a glyph for the letter “O”. The poem considers navigates the tension between preservation and commodification of objects and the values they represent in the postmodern condition. |
