LA artist Alan Sekula’s piece, Shipwreck and Workers (2005-2007), is a series of billboards about labor and globalization installed at the Bergpark Wilhelmshohe. The place is already fantastical, a huge manmade waterfall built in the 17th century. Add these bright photos to the place and you have double weird. See video here.
What I’m reminded of are those highway billboards you see as you enter small towns that demonstrate a primitive animation/narrative. Ugly but effective.
