Christian Boltanski, No Man’s Land, installation. Image courtesy Park Avenue Armory.
A crane delicately picks up items of clothing from an enormous pile, carries them up to the ceiling, and drops them to slowly flutter back down to the pile. The artist talks about the transience of life and the unpredictability of death, but there is also something moving about the plight of the crane, the care of its movements, and the endlessness of its task.
