Description

Altered white vinyl photo album stamped "Our Flux Divorce / Geoff and Bici / 24 June 1971" in gold on the cover. The album contains 17 photographs of the Hendricks' "Flux Divorce" by Peter Moore, along with an invitation to the event and an index of the photographs. The entire album, with the exception of the back cover, is cut in half horizontally, mimicking the division of property in the original installation/performance/event. The album is housed in a wooden box, also containing relics from the event. The work was assembled in a very small edition by Hendricks, and offered for sale through Fluxus. This is copy number 5.
