“Mending” (2009) by Margaret Dragu

This work was part of a series of pieces centered around “verb actions” developed by Margaret Dragu in collaboration with Paul Couillard. In this piece, Dragu films herself repeating the action of “mending,” overlapping the subsequent iterations to create layers of actions that slowly deteriorate and obscure with each repetition.
