1 step on 1 kilometer

Stanley Brouwn, 1976

This filing drawer contains 1000 index cards, each with 10 lines that are 100 millimetres long, amounting to 1 kilometre. The length of one of the artist’s steps is noted on the first card. Humanity’s relationship with the endlessness of space, which we attempt to comprehend through measurement and relative distance, is the principal theme of Brouwn’s conceptual artworks, which are executed with military precision.
