In Giant’s Stadium Commuter Lot–9/13/2001, I connected 198 pieces of copy paper, each showing a portion of an image pulled from security camera footage of a commuter parking lot in New York. The CCTV still shows ten vehicles never picked up by their owners–workers in the Twin Towers who never returned from work. I hang the tapestry of printed pages loosely, letting drapery form, transforming the image into a shroud.
My goal is to capture, through ephemeral gestures, the mundane, uncanny, and absurd ways our lives and deaths are entangled in systems of power, organization, and control that simultaneously erase us and retain our traces long after we are gone.
