This is a rough sketch of a television set, but unlike other works of Nam June Paik’s drawing a television set, the television is portrayed as a three dimensional object, realistically with a button and an antenna, and with two figures on the screen. Then Paik tore the paper diagonally into two pieces, and put them apart on another sheet of a sketchbook. The composition to cut the picture in half and to emphasize the segmentation can be discovered not only in drawings but in videos of Paik’s, most remarkably the Cinéma Metaphysique series where he divided his body parts into different frames and reconstruct a new image with them.
