The result is the wasting away of a “culture of aspiration,” marked by lyceums and FDR?...
...number of days, with the only major difference between the sequences being the time of day. He then strung seventy-five of these segments together to create a work that is nearly fourteen hours long. Over time, the actors gradually recede out of the viewer’s mind, while the background eventually becomes the focus, inverting the viewer’s normal perception of people and their environment.The most recent work in the exhibition is “Sections of a Happy Moment,” a sequence of 180 black-and-white photographs capturing a single moment...
