なぜわたしたちは美術館において、あらゆる展示品に触れてはいけないのでしょうか。Please Do Not Touchと同様に、「触れる」ということの影響をテーマとしている作品です。二つの同じドアノブを、一方は触れられることのない作品としての環境に、もう一方はドアノブ本来の役割を果たす環境に五日間置き、双方の変化の差異からこのルールを考察します。
Why are we not allowed to touch artworks in museums? Like the work Please Do Not Touch, this piece is about the effects of 'touching'. Two identical door handles are placed in the exhibition for five days, one in an environment where it is a work of art that cannot be touched, and the other in an environment where the door handle fulfils its intended function, and the differences in the changes between the two are used to examine this rule.
A Consideration of a Rule, 2017. Brass door handle, copper plated. 15 × 12.5 × 1.5 cm.
