Heinrich Obst: I consider this to be a work (2025)
Heinrich Obst during the online preparation of his work for the 3rd Nieuwstraat Festival (google streetview):
“I consider this to be a work,
in the sense of Duchamp asserting that the fifth person /five minutes carrying whatever is an artwork.
This young woman walking down the Nieuwstraat reading the label of what I assume to be a flask of motor oil.
Anonymous conjecture to be sure, but a moment caught on disinterested camera for a reason still to be investigated”.
