Whitney Biennial 2024: Even Better Than the Real Thing

Whitney Museum of American Art, New York City, NY, USA

March 20 – August 11, 2024

[In an exhibition space, a geometric sculpture consists of several mirrored medicine cabinets, each with a matte translucent surface on the inside. The cabinets are arranged in a zigzag pattern on the wooden floor. The mirrors reflect each other, the texture of the floor and the surrounding light, creating subtle changes in the appearance of the space. The reflective surfaces distort the environment, making it feel dynamic and fluid.]

[Mirrored medicine cabinets are arranged in a zigzag pattern on a wooden floor. Some cabinets face outwards, reflecting the floor and surrounding space, while others are partially open, revealing a translucent, gel-like substance inside. The mirrored surfaces distort the reflections of the room, creating a sense of depth and fragmentation.]

[The close-up captures a section of a larger geometric sculpture on a wooden floor, focusing on three medicine cabinets arranged in a grid-like formation. Their interiors are coated with a thick layer of Vaseline, creating a smooth, translucent surface that diffuses light and alters reflections.]
