In Vanishing Act, the office space has been almost entirely painted with “green screen” paint, including the desk and the objects that have accumulated with time, sediments as the artist calls them. By painting them in the green chroma key colour, the work refers to the technology of digitally removing or “keying out” that colour, at which point that scene can be dropped onto any digital background. In other words, the artist playfully suggests making them disappear; this imaginary disappearance is an ode to the fragility and transience of the material world. In this installation Aoun was interested in the “kipple” effect Introduced in Philip K. Dick›s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968) and the sedimentary nature of spaces, where objects keep on accumulating without human intervention, and become the physical manifestations of entropy.
