Dieter Roth: Reykjavik Slides (31,035) Every View of a City


Featuring 31,035 slides shown simultaneously on multiple projectors, Reykjavik Slides was inspired by the distinctive character of Icelandic architecture and documents every building in the capital. Made with the assistance of Pal Magnusson and the artist's two sons, Bjorn and Karl, the work is a comprehensive survey, drawing one's attention to the subject matter of the project, rather than the role of the artist.
