Blowback
Post-Industrial / United States of America
Seven white Hydrocal basins arranged in formation, each containing used oil. The oil surfaces began as black mirrors reflecting sky and viewers. Over seven weeks, the oil reacted with air and weather: resinous rings formed and deepened, debris accumulated, and rainwater pooled. Reflection became record. During installation, vandals damaged several basins, spilling black sludge. The damage was left in place, making intentional installation and destructive intervention indistinguishable in the final weathered surface marked by evidential waste. ☐
