About this work

This piece shows three black-and-white photos glued to a white foam board. The top photo has messy handwritten words like "REACH BACK" and "GET READY TO THROW." Below it, a small label lists details in ink. The bottom photo shows a building corner with more scribbled words: "COME FORWARD," "THROW," and "FOLLOW THROUGH." The photos were taken while the artist moved through a city street. The words seem to be instructions for an activity—like throwing a ball—written in real time. Look up Vito Acconci to see how he turned everyday actions into art.
