The Problem of One Thing Existing Simultaneously, 2006

 

 

 

The Problem of One Thing Existing Simultaneously

For this work Strachan duplicated an arbitrarily broken beer bottle piece-by-piece, transforming bits of trash into remnants of displaced matter and time. He used a found broken Budweiser beer bottle as a template to laser cut a duplicate broken bottle piece which rest side by side with the original.
