Trébuchet (Trap)

Original

The readymade Trap exemplifies physical displacement – being displayed on the floor rather than the wall – as well as logical displacement; the title is a pun on the phonetically identical chess term trébucher, meaning to snare: offering a pawn as a setup, in the hope that the opponent might trip over it.172 Initially Duchamp acquired the coat rack as a functional object, without the thought of choosing it as a readymade. He habitually stumbled over it in his studio until he decided to nail it to the floor and associate it with his other readymades.
