Signed, dated, and inscribed by the artistsA figure seated at a dunking booth, a classic American carnival attraction, alludes to the way many U.S. citizens feel about the upcoming presidential election—they are about to be unceremoniously dunked. Shards of spaghetti appear to conduct the movements of disparate objects: a battery-powered light switch intended for power outages, which lasts only two hours, and a COVID test. The test is negative, and the light switch is currently ON, but that could change.
