MAC'S KITCHEN

2011

Machteld (Mac), Henk's wife, kept all kinds of packaging in the kitchen. When it was time to clean it up, Henk first cut out the barcodes to make a work with them. A horizontal line grid has been applied to the sheet on which the barcodes are centered and stuck at random. But of course that's not all. Henk meticulously notes in his sketchbook what the product was that belonged to each barcode. We also see that Henk has been working with barcode-like structures for some time now. He has made three works about it in black and white. Only then did this work arise with the real barcodes from Mac's Kitchen.
