In this installation, the process of randomly wrinkling paper that is already printed to look like wrinkled paper, means the artist can comment on the distance between reality and fiction, as well as alluding to the process and the time spent on the work. The scale of the offset prints takes on monumental proportions, covering whole walls with the image of paper wrinkling, while simultaneously showing the process in the exhibition room itself. The installation contrasts the blocks of paper on the walls with others that have been torn down, literally wrinkled and then thrown to the floor like trash.
