Tearing Into Pieces (Set of 49 Photographic Documentations)

Compilation of photographs taken during Roberto Chabet's Tearing Into Pieces for the group exhibition 'Objects' at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) Small Gallery from 20 January - 18 February 1973.

On 19 January 1973, Chabet tore a copy of Manuel Duldulao's book 'Contemporary Philippine Art from the Fifties to the Seventies', and exhibited the torn-up pages in a metal waste basket at the CCP Small Gallery. The book, which was published in 1972, is one of the first coffee-table books on Philippine contemporary art. It included Chabet's works Window with Two Heads (1964), Blue Window (1965) and Hurdling (1970).
