MTA Arts & Design Lightbox exhibition at 42nd St & 6th Ave, New York City
Large light boxes of this type are most often used for advertising imagery, which is ideal for the “Tech Vanitas” photographs; at first glance they strongly resemble slick product shots. These still lifes address the desire for beautifully designed gadgets and the anxiety around ever changing technology.
