Notes:
The slides were discovered in a tin slide case. Another set of slides documenting Faire-Part were in the case. See museum #1992.4.131.
Notes:
The title "Faire-Part" translates to announcement, notification. Words are printed on the envelopes individually or as sentences. Cha manipulates the language through isolating words/ letters, removing from context and reducing words/ language to minimal units. Cha leads the viewer to discover the multiple meanings and layers of language. She is expressing the language and nature of communication.
