Untitled: DIE// (2001)

is a response to minimalist sculptor Tony Smith’s iconic closed volume sculpture also entitled DIE (1962). For a commission at Arnolfini Gallery McKenzie became interested in exploring Smith’s assertion that DIE ‘is a geometric, abstract equivalent of man’. This work fascinated McKenzie as it asks us to think of this piece not in terms of architectural form but as an actual person, anthropomorphism being placed at the very centre of our understanding of this object. It is the relationship of Minimalism to the body that McKenzie wanted to explore.
