About this work

This piece is eight black lithographs on one long folded sheet. When closed it’s small, like a book. Open it fully and it stretches over sixteen feet. Horwitz used numbers and grids to make time and motion visible. Each print shifts the pattern slightly. The whole thing feels like a musical score for your eyes. Try folding and unfolding it yourself at The Museum of Modern Art.
