Latent Prints/Reading Room

installation detail, day 5 [1]
2003
dimensions variable
fingerprint powder, clear acrylic sealer, books, magnifying glasses, wooden table, etc.

This installation included a table, chairs, books on fingerprints, magnifying glass, and food—all colored white—creating a comfortable space for students to relax. At the end of each of the five days the installation was open, I dusted the space for fingerprints, then fixed the resulting prints with clear sealer so that fingerprints accumulated over time.
