Outlets allow the flow of current through cable. When electrical cable is sold as scrap, the outlet is often still connected, but cannot be used and has no value. An electrician cuts the power supply to one outlet, removes the faceplate and reveals the copper core of two electrical wires.

One of the lights is off in the exhibition space because it was wired with an outlet that has been disabled by an electrician in the installation of Cameron Rowland’s Constituent (edition 3, 1 AP). Two editions of this work are installed here from different loans, a US collector and the artist’s New York gallery. The projector mount has been chromed as well.
