 Item — Box: 126
Identifier: CC-01234-1265

Scope and Contents

Commissioned for "The Beauty in Breathing" exhibition. Torok reproduced a translucent fragment of a Seurat painting "Une baignade à Asnières," with a computer in which its clarity is obscured according to his ideas by the effects of the presumed passage of time, exposure to environmental pollutants and occurrence of catastrophic weather conditions. These conditions are listed in bold type face partially overlaying each of the six images. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
