About this work

This room has two long wooden tables with stools around them. The tables are covered with papers—maps, photos, and small prints scattered about. Above the tables, two screens show grainy video clips: one of a crowd in a city, the other of a bridge with people walking. The setup looks like an invitation to sit and explore. The mix of old and new materials—like maps and instant prints—suggests a connection between past and present. Next, check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more works like this.
