About this commission

Sliver is a translucent video sculpture installed along The Shed’s windows facing the Hudson Yards Public Square. Weaving together dismantled fragments of LED meshes designed for distant skyline advertisements, Sliver presents unevenly to viewers inside and outside the glass, shifting between image, object, and whisper.
Biography
