Unique Book dated 2012, mixed media
I think Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor must be
one of the most well known pieces of organ music. It has been played in
MANY movies, including Fantasia and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. But this is no organ
performance piece. This is a book work. ‘Toccata’ from the Italian
– to touch is an apposite word for this beautiful book created from
cardboard. Toccata also intimates fast moving, lightly fingered
passages. This is TICTAC’s EXACT treatment of the filigreed card.
Fugue – a technique which indicates two or more voices. I’m
likening TICTAC’s material usage to this word. Cardboard and acetate are
the main mediums of this work. PLUS, without getting too technical,
fugues also consist of connecting passages (episodes) and a coda.
Conceptually, how much closer can one combine music terms and books than this?
