It’s hard to find a good lamp

2014, flipbook

In 1993 Donald Judd wrote a text entitled “It’s hard to find a good lamp.” This animation used all the 241 IKEA lamps models found at their website in 2014. They were sequenced according to formal similarities and redrawn schematically. One inbetween frame was drawn for each lamp, resulting in an animation of 482 drawings. This animation was printed as a limited edition of flip books. Each flip book included 80 frames of the animation, becoming a unique work.
