Burning Slide Projections

Mark Boyle & Joan Hills, Destruction In Art Symposium, London, September 1966.

Mark Boyle: "Joan and I managed to get slides of all the artists taking part in the symposium. We projected them one after the other onto the screen, and while they were on the screen we burnt them, one after the other, so that each of the artists, including ourselves, was able to watch his image singe and blister and disintegrate in a glorious, technicolour range of yellows, oranges, and browns."
