Photo Cabinet.
1975.

Multiple.

Outside photo, mounted on cardboard on the door: 24.5x19.2 cm.
Inside photo, mounted on the bottom: 31.3x22.7 cm. Edition of
17 numbered, dated and signed copies. When Christophe Chérix
was preparing the catalogue raisonné of R. Morris prints
and mulitples he did not find a copy of the regular edition of
17. However he found 2 copies, one unsigned "A.P" copy,
in a New York private collection, and another unsigned copy in
a private collection in Fance, bearing no edition information
whatsoever. Our copy is the one from the French private collection.
This work exists now only as an edition as the original piece,
unique, created in 1963, was accidentally destroyed a few years
ago.

Text:
ROLLER DISCO: CENOTAPH FOR A PUBLIC FIGURE
The individual's favorite possessions - the golf clubs, the shoes,
the tie pin, the Ferrari, the bowling ball, the art collection,
etc. - are carefully sawed in halves. The edges of the cuts are
filed or otherwise cleaned to reveal the precise cross-sections
of the objects which are then embedded in a transparent plastic
matrix. The objects are arranged so that the cross-sections face
upward. The matrix forms a vast circular floor and a top layer
of smooth, indestructible, transparent plastic is poured as a
finish surface. A large building is erected over this floor,
a building held up with a maze of elaborate wooden trusses. No
pole or column interrupts the floor. The appropriate décor
and sound system are installed. A suitable name is found. A discrete
advertising campaign is initiated. Only the highest quality roller
skates are allowed on the floor.
