It was at the reception for the window installation at ATA, this was the seventh anniversary of my sister Yolanda's death. She died on September 11*, 2008 from ovarian cancer. This is a picture of her very close friend Elizabeth,in a photo booth I had made. It was a film noir setup with window blinds. It had nothing to do with the window installation, except that it involved light and a boundary - a leaving off, as it were. That's what a window is, what Shadow is: a leaving off, transparent or insolid in some way. Visitors to the reception were invited to pose in the booth, and I would direct them in acting out poses. In this photograph, my prompt was that Elizabeth was looking out the window and seeing Yolanda.
