About this work

This photo shows a plain white wall with two diagonal lines of tape forming an X. The tape is flat, with no color—just the dull gray of sticky edges. A few small marks or smudges sit on the tape, and the wall behind it looks smooth and empty. The artist used simple materials to make something look intentional. The tape’s sharp edges and the way it’s placed make the X stand out, even though there’s nothing else in the scene. Check out Jaime Davidovich to see how he used everyday objects in his work.
