FALL 2011 PACEEXHIBITION + LECTURE ART SERIES Carla Shapiro: Obituaries to Prayer Flags Award winning photographer Carla Shapiro spent five months, four to five hours a day, hand-copying onto 13 translucent paper the obituaries of those who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001. She hung these papers September on coltheslines over the stream in her back yard in Chichester, New York. There were 25 lines with 100 obituaries on each. For one year she photographed this installation. Over time the written words faded away and the papers Fingesten G a l l e r y Opening 4-7pm became blank. The empty papers came to represent “prayer flags” (which originated in Tibet, and are visual memories of prayer.) Shapiro will be exhibiting the resulting photographs at the Fingesten Gallery.
