Cornelia Parker (contradiction)

Image of: Breathless
Breathless, Brass Instruments, flattened, 2001

I researched Cornelia Parker earlier this semester to look at the titles in relation to the work. 

I love the imagery the title 'Breathless' creates in this work - it's quite poetic, and draws attention to the former life of these instruments that have now been flattened. Before someone would have 'breathed life' (to take poetic liberty) into the instruments, now they're Breathless.
