marcel broodthaers . . .

The work of Marcel Broodthaers titled Section Cinema has been re-created on site at Marian Goodman Gallery in New York. The installation becomes an "extended frame" for the photographs which are a part of it. The viewer enters the installation (frame) and becomes immersed 'within' it. In addition, some of the photographs which are part of the installation have "immediate frames" which the viewer stands on the 'outside' of. Click here to see and read more.
