The exhibition,
designed by Sugimoto, places thirty images in two rooms that
flank the museum's main circulation on the ground floor. Facing
each other through large openings, each room contains three
rows of five images and provides a clear visual axis through
the exhibition, appropriate for a museum that places a high
emphasis on grids and visual legitimacy. Walking into each gallery,
the visitor is confronted by fifteen gray, free-standing slabs
that almost reach the translucent glass ceiling, the photos
turning their backs on the visitor. This simple gesture accomplishes
two things: it forces the visitor to move among the photos in
the gallery and, more importantly, it physically embodies the
ideas of the images that are presented; each extending the architecture
of the photos to the architecture of the exhibition. |
