Unlike the documentary-style tableau photography of his first book, 23 Pieces, here Ruppersberg intervenes: stones are left on the mantle of a pristine hotel room; a ketchup bottle is used to create a Jackson Pollock style painting on a tablecloth-covered table; a white cross is painted on a tree; a full dinner place setting is set up on a hotel bed. Many of the images are in hotel rooms or restaurants, referencing Ruppersberg’s “Al’s Café” and “Al’s Grand Hotel.” First Edition. Signed by the artist.
