The artist shatters plaster cups, in a carnival style display, lined up row by row. Moon replicates a similar design for each cup to emphasize the ordinary nature of the object on view. The fractures in each cup signify a mark in time. These cups are the targets of human trepidation, where we disregard the path our everyday objects take as we consume endlessly. Referencing Rauschenberg’s combines, Moon creates a new take with recreated objects, in plaster rather than plastic. He uses the idea of a combine to convey the quantity of waste and the way humans exhibit their own past to reflect on their present and future.
Moon’s destructive installations show how we as the viewer place everyday objects into new context, observing their place in the world removed from us in the present, but consuming our future and addressing our past.
