Anna Bogon:

Adversus solem ne Loquitor, 2003, 70 books, model figure, marble shelf
window sill, mirror

könyvperiszkóp: "The view inside the periscope, through the cut pages of the books to the miniature figure at the end and ultimately to the Siena sky. (The periscope is placed against a blocked out window and a hole is created at the top
exit point to enable the view of the sky).

This piece is a homage to Galileo a man persecuted by
religion because of his
discoveries. Galileo held secret meetings on the roof of the The Palazzo del
Papesse whilst looking to the siena sky through his telescope. It also references
significant others who strived for knowledge and truth against all odds."

Exhibited at: Palazzo Delle Liberta, Palazzo Delle Papesse, Siena, Italy, Jun–Sep 2003, címe: Adversus solem ne Loquitor, 2003

Enclosure, 2002. mirror, 63 x 61 x 42 cm , "Sited in an open farm courtyard, the mirrored homes reflect the surroundings and extend the visual habitat of the birds creating alternative optical perspectives. Shiny and unfamiliar the homes act as a sharp visual contrast to what is around. They also have a significant effect on the behaviour of the birds and as a result, interaction takes place. Unable to enter the new structures the birds see themselves possibly for the first time. The work questions and plays with the notion of enclosure. Seen in isolation, the mirrored house appears to dissolve into the environment"

Exhibited at: Incubator Hackney City Farm, London 2002
Also shown at: Six Thousand Chairs, Crystal Palace, London 2004
