L'Horizon Chimérique
2009
Deluxe edition: Case (black MDF) with two-sided plexiglass and silkscreen, 34.5 x 66 x 14 cm (13½ x 26 x 5½ in), with built-in book of same title and silkscreen insert, 28.5 x 57 cm, folded. Edition of 20, numbered, signed by both artists. (front and back view illustrated)
This edition by Ed Ruscha and Jean-Marc Bustamante consists of an object and an accompanying book. The title, L'Horizon Chimérique (Chimeric Horizon), alludes to the endlessly wide horizons in American widescreen films. The horizontal division of the surface into two zones serves as a semiotic archetype of the “landscape”. Two fields of color conjure a poetic sense of openness and vastness.
