Rob Oskar Lee. Photo montage. Kintsugi 'fountain'. After Duchamp.

Having recently re-discovered the Japanese art of Kintsugi, it led me to come up with this image. Kistsugi being the art of repairing broken ceramics with gold, silver or platinum dusted lacquer, thus accentuating the damage rather than trying to disguise it. In this way the damage, and the repair, become a part of the history of the object. Duchamp's 'Fountain', probably the most well known of his 'Ready-Mades', was also made of ceramic but perhaps less likely to get dropped on the kitchen floor.
