the towers apartments, 2003

Archival Pigment Photographs

Set of seven, 17 3/4 x 40” each

For seven days residents of a Pasadena apartment building were invited to create window patterns by turning their lights on (yes) and off (no) based on their answers to a confidential survey, revealing their personal tastes, beliefs and feelings. The light patterns reflect on the relationships between the parts and the whole, and on the importance of individual contribution to collective identity.  Made possible in part by the Pasadena Arts & Culture Commission and the City of Pasadena Cultural Affairs Division. In the collection of the Artist Pension Trust (APT) Mexico.
