The artwork titled “Streaker” by Robert Rauschenberg, created in 1997, belongs to the Neo-Dada movement and is classified as an installation.
The artwork features a wooden chair that has been bisected along its vertical axis, presenting a distinct and thought-provoking visual impression. Each half of the chair remains intact structurally yet is separated, creating a striking juxtaposition of completeness and fragmentation. The shadow cast by the divided chair on the plain white background further accentuates its sculptural form and the conceptual disruption inherent in the piece. The meticulous dissection and reassembly of an ordinary object reflect Rauschenberg’s Neo-Dada inclinations, invoking a dialogue about the nature of art, perception, and everyday materials.
