Making of "1/2"

The work "1/2" (2011) has been giving me interresting questions lately. The original version, made in late 2011 was sent to Brazil for the exhibition NOVÍSSIMOS 2012 at Galeria IBEU. For that occasion I had to separate the two parts in different packages. Curiously that situation revealed me another latent concept within the work: that they were both different. However we may conceptualize mathematically the idea of half, it won't be as such in the real world. So the work is now in Brazil. Therefor, for my solo exhibition entitled "Matter" at MK Gallery in Milton Keynes, I had to make a new version. Here is the making of this version in the laser cutter (2x faster in the video) and the images of the finished work.
