Matta-Clark used a number of media to document his work, including film, video, and photography. His work includes performance and recycling pieces, space and texture works and his "building cuts." He also used puns and other word games as a way to re-conceptualize preconditioned roles and relationships (of everything, from people to architecture) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Matta-Clark> |
