Diagonals of Personal Ecstasy
4 minute single channel video
​(2024)

​(detail)​
Diagonals is a series of seven videos responding to Dan Flavin's series of 'diagonals'. I believe Flavin made seven of these, the first one being The Diagonal of May 25, 1963 (to Constantin Brancusi). This one was gold, and fixed to the wall at a 45 degree angle, which the artist declared “the diagonal of personal ecstasy”.
