Glasgow International Festival of Contemporary Art
 

Simon Martin

In a dimly lit corner of a room, there is a monitor placed on a stand, made of two metal poles. The monitor has a handle peeking behind it. On the screen is an image of a book with a monochromatic image of an ancient sculpture of an animal, holding a plate on its head. Placed on this book is a metallic funnel. The funnel is also monochromatic.
Large arches and pillars are lit up by lights and hanging chandeliers. A long hall with tall arches running along it can be seen past the balcony. In front of the balcony, at the centre, there is a television screen standing on a stand made up of two metal poles. The screen has the image of three apples, ascending in size, beneath which there is a picture of a person holding what seems to be a stuffed toy.

    Giant arches and pillars are lit up by lights and hanging chandeliers. A long hall with tall arches running along it can be seen past the balcony. In front of the balcony, at the centre, there is a television screen standing on a stand made up of two metal poles. The screen has the image of photograph of a monochromatic stone mould of a face, on top of which sits a tiny bright coloured frog.
