'Pataphysical Performance Pieces.

This is a group of objects I made in 2011. I am very interested in the absurd literature of Alfred Jarry, particularly his "Exploits and Opinions of Dr. Faustroll, Pataphysician". These things were made in the mode of Jarryian performance; as a play, a constant dialogue with parts of the artwork. Each piece can be seen as an absurdist prop in a 'pataphysical theatre or carnival.

  1. So Miss Mankley, how does an object constitute a performance, and what is this PataPata nonsense?
