Woody van Amen (1936)
Mata Hari
1978 | photo, neon light, bamboo, perspex | 93 × 177 × 15 cm
The horizon in this work by Woody van Amen appears continuous at first glance, but it’s actually three separate parts.
The art of assemblage is where objects and materials are put together to create a three-dimensional work, often with an anti-aesthetic effect. Pictured here is sand in the shape of the Matterhorn flanked by photos of Van Amen and his wife. The title refers to Matahari Beach in Bali, the island depicted by the yellow neon light.
