Description
Notes:
A color slide of Cha standing before her work "Repetitive Pattern." "Repetitive Pattern" consists of 60 different size white strips of cloth sewn horizontally to a piece of white cloth. Stenciled in black ink individually on the strips of cloth are the following words: "Repetitive", "Pattern", "one", "an", "other", "-", "=" and half circle. The words are repeated in four columns. In the slide Cha stands before a "Repetitive" "Pattern" column. Another woman stands behind Cha, face unseen. As if Cha is herself repeating.
Notes:
In "Repetitive Pattern" Cha is transforming language through manipulation, repetition and reducing the words to units. See museum# 1992.4.59. The slide was discovered in a tin slide case.
