William Forsythe's One Flat Thing, Reproduced (2003)

William Forsythe's One Flat Thing, Reproduced is one of those works of art I return to again and again.

And it never ceases to amaze me in different ways.

It's a strange sensation when you see a work of art that you know is seminal, that's a game changer, but your time hasn't quite realized that yet.

It's fun to watch cusp art go over.

This is one way to compress a novel into less than ten minutes.

But it also makes me think "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny."

Because these characters are definitely quoting our own primate evolution at every arm-breaking turn.
