These flowers sat between powerful men as they signed agreements designed to influence the fate of the world.
—Taryn Simon
Gagosian is pleased to present large-scale photographs from the series Paperwork and the Will of Capital by Taryn Simon.
Simon is a multidisciplinary conceptual artist whose work spans photography, sculpture, and performance. Her photographs reveal the structures behind controlling systems, from ancestry and borders to botany and diplomacy. Between text and image, a blur occurs, and each altered by the other, again and again, back and forth.
