Model, Betrayal
This is a Model. It is dated 1998. Its medium is graphite and paint on laser-cut cardstock and led, recreated for exhibition; staged 1998, royal national theatre, lyttelton, london, uk. It is a part of the department.
“Betrayal’s nine scenes are set in reverse chronological order. I’d visited Rachel Whiteread’s monumental House sculpture in 1993, which seemed to cast time as a protagonist in concrete. We responded to the sculpture’s spirit within the cast concrete interior of the National’s Lyttelton Theatre. A single plaster plane held illuminated impressions of the play’s five overlaid locations, as if the wall were actively remembering the time and place of each scene.”

This object was previously on display as a part of the exhibition An Atlas of Es Devlin.
