Roman ond k discusses performance 4 measuring the universe at moma


Measuring the Universe is a performance art work by Slovak artist Roman Ondák first installed in the Pinakother der Moderne in Munich in 2007. The exhibition stars as a blank white wall and begins to fill when museum guards mark visitors' height along with their name and the current date. It is in the collection of Tate Modern gallery in London.

Materials

The only items required for the installation were a white room and a few black markers. What began as a clean white space has been filled with letters and lines and numbers as people pass through the gallery. Each tiny line represents a different person. The thousands and thousands of lines show just how many people pass through the museum each day, how many people were, affected by this installation.
