The Enemy, 2008-2010
Tyler Coburn & Jeffrey K. Miller
Fog, audio broadcast, freestanding door, knobs, knockers, benches, manifesto

The Enemy is a collaboration with filmmaker Jeffrey K. Miller that revisits the life and career of Wyndham Lewis, an English painter, critic and novelist best known as the leader of a 1910s avant-garde movement called Vorticism.  For each installation, a manifesto is constructed from the typographical elements of Vorticist journal BLAST!; a functional pun is built, in the form of a door covered with knobs and knockers; and a fictional interview between Coburn and Lewis is broadcast, during listening events, in a foggy room.
