Description
An accordion fold book that unfolds from top to bottom, revealing a series of photographs documenting a performance art piece which took place in New York City on March 11, 1972. The 26 images taken over a period of five minutes show three people standing on a NYC street corner first blending with and then standing out from the other pedestrians on the street. The vertical unfolding of the book mimics a film reel or other cinematic sequence.
