Their Dice
The title of the work is "Their Dice". Following
the typology of photography developed by renowned German artists Bernd and
Hilla Becher in the 1970s, this series of six photographs shows the natural
form of six dice-shaped objects in coherent camera angles. This art piece looks
orderly and rational. What is intriguing is that the artist calls them
"Their Dice", implying the similarity in shape between the
photographed objects and the familiar dice. They are in fact pipe protections
on construction sites. The artist breathes new life into mundane construction
site objects. She encourages viewers to imagine who this behemoth belongs to
and who is playing the dice.
