Ceci n'est pas une pipe, 2007, is an outdoor sound sculpture. The "decoy" pipes, made from paper mache, mimic the curved pipes that sit on the sidewalk next to buildings, and whose purpose is to provide an escape for gases in the plumbing lines. As people walked by, the pipes emitted belching sounds.
materials: paper mache, cement, plywood, speakers, cd player
Exhibited as part of the Art Under the Bridge Festival, DUMBO, Brooklyn in 2007.
