Collage of gelatin silver prints
103.5 x 78.1 cm (40 ¾ x 30 ¾ in.)

"In Splitting and Circus—The Caribbean Orange, Gordon Matta Clark literally dissected buildings, cutting and carving them into gravity-defying structures. The films and photocollages he made of these pieces dovetail with the experimental, disorienting quality of his architectural cuts, which constitute a denunciation not just of the functions of architecture but of the American dream of progress."
