Title	Presentation board titled 'Western Reversal'
Date	1973
Description	Presentation board featuring sixteen black and white photographs of 'Western Reversal' arranged in four rows of four mounted on grey card. Includes a typescript interpretative label mounted below the images. The presentation board is signed and dated by Dye on the reverse.
Notes	According to Dye's interpretative text, a cowboy film is projected via a framework of sixteen moveable mirrors. As the film progresses the mirrors are moved one at a time by hand, until the sixteen fragments of the image overlap in the centre of the screen.
