A filmic space develops within pages of this unique artist's book, moving through and layering the film's imagery-tableaux of objects-via a system of laser-cut portals and transparent screenlike pages. Sietsema employs a language of cliched 'collectible' objects-Roman glass, coins, minor antiquities-to invoke the idea of a salon or space of contemplation as a parallel to the contemporary studio, and the idea of a kind of leisure-based consumptive creativity. Drawing on the design idea of skeuomorphism, common in modern computer interfaces, Sietsema fills his tableaux with now-outmoded items that live on as icons of their former functions.
