Tat, offers a glimpse into the origins of Pop with "Pop It, See It!" A six-foot tall, coin-operated set of binoculars that you would see at any tourist scenic viewpoint around the country. The piece is made of vintage tin, recycled wood, metal and found objects, hand-painted with acrylics and oils, incorporating framed images by Roy Lichtenstein, Peter Blake, Robert Rauschenbergand Oyvind Fahlstrom.
Just pop a coin in the slot and push the red button as flashing tractor lights blink, crystals hanging from silver industrial chains add to the dizzying high, while the attached pill box advises, Take one tablet a day for vertigo. Peer inside the illuminated shadow box through a looking glass of fluttering butterflies, flying nuns, mirrored disco balls, Elton John goggles and altered hologram images reflecting Pop as a lifestyle, cultural movement, generational community and artistic phenomenon.
"Everything is 100 % recycled, and made up of found objects discovered at Inland Empire and L.A. area flea markets", of the piece, which is valued at $10,000.
