Jeffrey Meris, Banan, 2019
Plaster Body Cast, AC Motor, Steel
36 × 36 × 16 inches
This work is part of a series titled “Now You See Me, Now You Don’t,” in which plaster replicas of Meris’ disjointed body kinetically destroy themselves over perforated sheet metal. These ‘body-doubles’ are vessels of the violence of racial interpellation.
