Partial Views from an Artist's Space (Allegories of Capital), 2007




Located in a passageway through which visitors must enter/exit, two facing walls present disparate world views.

LEFT WALL: Grid of 4 rows with 160 c-prints maps capital's uneven and sclerotic impact on various spaces and times. From top, row 1: Earth morphs into the Death Star; row 2: GoogleEarth satellite images of 40 megacities; row 3: Flickr snapshots taken at each city; row 4: YouTube screenshots of parkour sequence in reverse.



RIGHT WALL: Single c-print of NASA's 1968 "EarthRise", the first picture of whole Earth as it was originally photographed. Rest of the wall is blank, an invitation to imagine new worlds.














Installed at Artists Space, NYC, with the support of the Independent Study Program - Whitney Museum of American Art and Fractured Atlas - Creative Development Grant.
