In its boom days it was Motor City, land of the American dream and the best of American manufacturing, an industry that enabled highways, suburbs, road trips, and our willful sprawl across the continent.

Sarah Sze: Afterimage
'I’m interested in the idea of how something is seared into your memory. We have all of this information… How does something stick with you?'
In this film, the artist discusses the process of creating the site-specific works in her new exhibition at the gallery: Images in Debris, an installation of images, light, sound, film, and objects, that seeks to transform the visitor’s perception and experience of the first-floor gallery; and Afterimage, an environment of wall-based works that replicates aspects of the artist’s studio and includes elements made in situ as well as images collected, gathered and discarded in the process of making the work.
