Memory Box III (Vanishing Point)
1974

Sketch of an abstract concept titled "Memory Box III (Vanishing Point)" by HKA '94. The drawing features two perspectives: one of a box-like structure with the words "OUTSIDE: STRUCTURE" and "SLIDES PLAY FROM THE WALL SHAPES / THE WALL OUTWARD," and another of an interior with a mattress and the words "INSIDE: MATTRESS" and "TAPE AT THE HEAD OF / THE BED ON / SLIDES ON THE WALL / OUT OF MY HEAD / AND INTO MY / HEAD." Handwritten notes suggest a dynamic interplay between the internal and external elements of the memory box.
