Franklin and I acquired a large Candida Höfer photograph of a palatial room which features a projection screen prominently placed in the middle of the picture, with the express intent of placing it directly opposite the front door to our apartment. It was the first thing one saw when entering our space. My natural environment - the one I imagine as my true home - is a palatial, Rococo room. Each time I entered the apartment and flipped on the spotlight (which was aimed directly at the ‘projection screen in the photo), I imagined the projector perversely running the wrong movie, which depicted, ironically, the interior of our two-bedroom high-rise apartment. --MURRAY MOSS Read More
