Peter Lemmens

The glass plate of a photocopy machine has been engraved. Books are provided (e.g. a catalogue of each artist in the show or a book presented in the show). The engraving will be visible over each copy that is made. An edition limited to the amount of paper inserted in the machine can be made. The original and the author are simultaneously created and destroyed. Each time the work is presented a new engraving is added for a new edition. In a first edition 100 signed and numbered white pages are inserted. In a second edition 100 signed and numbered opaque pages are inserted. In a third edition 500 numbered and stamped blue pages are inserted.
