Zenith Replacement Parts (eBay), 2008
What simply look like brown cardboard boxes are actually images I found on eBay from someone selling Zenith-brand replacement parts for televisions. I thought it was truly strange that this individual felt the photographs represented the parts more clearly—or somehow gave them a more substantial presence—than just a listing of the part numbers. I love that the boxes are dusty and old—they look like they haven’t been pulled off the shelves for decades, completely obsolete, no longer of any value or use—and that they have the numbers of the parts marked on them. In a grid, these images remind me of a Judd-like installation even though they are just boxes with TV parts in them.
