“ ‘Cross Section’ can be understood as a register of information, composed of outmoded materials archetypal to American corporate office design. The recuperation of such standard materials subverts use value in a form of resistance. These fragments are culminated together, and much like the bureaucratic condition of office environments, the valid structural organization of things remains enigmatic and unknown. The reassmblage of artifacts constitutes a monumentalized ruin as materials sink into formal shapes and create a new sublime. ”
