Memento (Lag Wagon)

2008

Christian Marclay works in several different media, including photography, video, sculpture, music, and performance. He created the images reproduced in this book by placing objects directly on the surface of paper coated with a light-sensitive chemical mixture. The resulting blue photograms reinvigorate two nearly forgotten media: cassette tapes of the 1970s–80s and the cyanotypes developed in the 1840s.
