AN UNFINISHED MACHINE: ON DUCHAMP'S LARGE GLASS

Öz

This article examines Marcel Duchamp's work commonly known as The Large Glass, produced between 1915 and 1923, within the context of the era’s artistic environment, Duchamp's intellectual development, and the work's intrinsic mechanisms. Shaped during a period when the Dada movement transformed artistic understanding, The Large Glass constitutes an original experiment that opposes traditional pictorial language and uses thought as a visual material. Employing a qualitative document review method, the article analyses the work's formal and functional components and discusses how the notes in the Green Box accompany it. In addition, The Large Glass is examined in comparison with Given, Duchamp's last major installation. The study positions The Large Glass not merely as a formal experiment but as a thought-laden work that visualizes sexuality, desire, and the impasse of the modern individual.
