Springsteen’s home county of Monmouth in New Jersey lost 158 people on 9/11. Within days of the towers collapsing, Springsteen began writing songs.

  • The Politico-Aesthetics of Groundlessness and Philippe Petit’S High-Wire Walk
    ARTICLES The Politico-Aesthetics of Groundlessness and Philippe Petit’s High-Wire Walk Gwyneth Shanks When I see two oranges, I juggle; when I see two towers, I walk. —Philippe Petit, To Reach the Clouds A figure stands in open air. Centred in the photo, the body seems suspended in the expanse of hazy, blue sky that opens up around their small form. On the right-hand side of the image, one tower of the newly built World Trade Center (WTC) looms. The figure is small in comparison, a smudge of black made insubstantial next to the clean, geometric grid of the tower’s detailed façade. And yet it is the figure that arrests the viewer’s gaze. The ground upon which this person stands is nothing but a thin cable, barely visible in the photograph. The photo, taken the morning of August 7, 1974, is of French high-wire walker Philippe Petit. Captured by Petit’s friend and co-conspirator, Jean-Louis Blondeau, the image reveals a figure caught between ground and sky, between the two towers of the WTC, and between life and death. Suspended between the Twin Towers, balanced on his wire, Petit’s walk celebrates the precarity of groundlessness. Philippe Petit on a cable suspended between the two towers of the newly completed World Trade Center in New York City, August 7, 1974. Film still from the 2008 documentary, Man on Wire, directed by James Marsh. Photo: Jean-Louis Blondeau, 1974. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Gwyneth Shanks is the Interdisiplinary Art Fellow at the Walker Art Center.
