MARBLE WALL [i], GENERAL ASSEMBLY HALL, UNITED NATIONS HEADQUARTERS
(2017)

Marble Wall [i] was photographed with an 8x10 plate camera at the General Assembly Hall of the United Nations Headquarters in New York. The work focuses on the well known backdrop that frames the decision-makers and leaders of the political world—an intersection of global political narratives and a modernist object deliberately designed to be photographed.

The photograph reveals the stage as a sculptural entity when viewed diagonally, highlighting the formal and material qualities of the marble. The large dimensions of the print allow viewers to immerse themselves in the texture and detail of the surface, uncovering the intricate interplay between the marble’s formal qualities and its almost sculptural presence within this significant space.
