The work “The Trainer” from the collection of the AGNSW Sydney does represent a series of sculptures and installations originated and exhibited for the first time in New York in 1990.
Books are editions of novels in English. In this installation was created a two functional space in which were combined functions which are not compatible in the reality, what does refer to artistic ideas of the surrealism. Real books used in this work and an equipment for boxing are found objects, what does refer to ideas of Marcel Duchamp.
Each book is fixed in an individual wooden box in a way that the title has been hidden, but pages do shape in each case a unique form.
Because of these differences in the shape, the viewer is able to see different fragments of the text in each book.
