Box Impossible By Jerry Andrus By Cara Levine As Podium for Alternative Facts

participatory sculpture, multi-media, 2017

Invited to be a part of a group exhibition Uneasy Structures in San Francisco March 2017, I responded by recreating an illusion made famous by the late Jerry Andrus, a magician from Oregon. His Box Impossible appears, from a distance, to be a crate with an impossible set of connections. The illusion of the box is broken from any angle but through the viewer. My Box Impossible is meant to stand in as the podium for the political rhetoric from our 45th President of the United States: from any angle but one narrowly drawn sight, it is all false.
