IsomorphicProsthesis (1998)
Crash car parts, lemons, digital counters
3x4x1m
Exterior and interior parts from totaled cars were collected from local body shops. These parts were paired with various counting devices. One counting device counts at random speeds (counting is triggered by movement), the second series of counting devices are powered by with lemon batteries, made using one copper and one zinc electrode planted in the citrus fruit (wet cell batteries). The lemon clocks count down 60 seconds over and over again.
