Description • Between art & Art - the guards

This selection of images (there are more) highlights a subtheme that developed as I worked on the larger body of work that comprises Between art & Art. Click here to return to that project.

The photographs that are part of the Between art & Art project mostly present to the viewer the "liminal" spaces of the museum - it's stairwells, corridors, hallways, foyers, entrances and exits, gift shops, courtyards, etc. These are the museum's transitional spaces. Often stationed at the borders of these spaces are the museum guards, their stations marked by their traces - their chairs - even when they are not themselves physically present. Even as they position themselves to have the best view of the galleries, they themselves are virtually invisible for museum visitors.
