Absalon created an oeuvre that, in its compression of form and conception, offers an alternative way to process information and experience the world. In the spirit of early modernist architecture, Absalon sought to “ elevate the utility and necessity of everyday objects to a principally aesthetic plane.” He proposed to alter human behavior by changing and redesigning all aspects of the built environment; he created a total artwork, geometric, abstracted and unified by the color white. And yet, his universal vision was designed to fit only a single person—himself.

A work in progress; a room sized installation of kite-tail sculptures - linear assemblages of circular forms and irregular fragments of circles. Cut from aluminum and scored to catch the light, the individual pieces hang from plastic monofilaments (fishing-lines) attached to the open ceiling grid of the gallery. Randomly influenced by natural forces, the kite-tails will whisper, move and metamorphose in the room’s faint air currents and dramatically changing natural light; echoing the more intense pressures of “civilized” life, they will interact with visitors who traverse the gallery.
