People of Museums.
I was once wondering around SF MOMA, and my attention was completely glued to the moody looks of a museum staff member. Taking a picture of him inspired the whole collection, portraying people and museums in San Francisco and New York.
Walking through the World Trade Center station in New York, it was hard to tell the boundaries between art and visitors. People were lost in the physical space and found at the same time - somewhere in their hearts.
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is known for its internationally recognized collection of modern and contemporary art. Originally built by an architect Mario Botta in 1995, SF MOMA was completely renovated during the expansion in 2016.
Perhaps, the most existential shots of all.
Four circles of 224 poodles, arranged in tightly packed rings, surround an infant on an eight-pointed gold star. Unique creative vision of the artist, Katharina Fritsch, was inspired by the story of Faust who brings a black poodle from the street, unknowingly inviting the devil into his house. I think it’s a metaphor for how the world of duality and corruption destroys our inborn innocence as we grow older.
The most exciting thing for me in museums is observing people. There were art lovers. There were people who came here just to escape hectic urban lives and have a moment to themselves.
