Portrait of a Lamp, 2007
lightbox, transparency, lighting fixtures
 


photo by Rene van der Hulst

The object, in this case a lighting fixture, is represented literally by the pictorial image of itself. Using the lightbox as a lamp, the lampshade is a picture of itself. When the switch is on, it is the pictorial image of a lamp (in a lamp) that reacts and illuminates!
