Zobop, 1999
Vinyl tape
Dimensions variable
Tate

Zobop is made with lengths of industrial vinyl tape applied in concentric bands that take their form from the perimeter of the architectural space. Lambie uses the standard colours the tape comes in, often leaving the final selection of which colour goes where to whoever installs the piece in the gallery space. He is indifferent to compositional decision making and the mark of his own hand: 'The system makes the work.'
