Penelope Umbrico at The Modern

"I'll Be Your Mirror: Art and the Digital Screen," The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Fort Worth, TX

"For I’ll Be Your Mirror, I thought about the appropriation of online content as a kind of found object and how that challenges the immateriality of our digital lives. Penelope Umbrico’s 48,586,054 Suns from Sunsets from Flickr (Partial) (2020) glows on the landing leading into the show, a startling reminder how the proliferation of images over the last hundred years has created a normative culture of image production so that millions of people share their beautiful picture of a sunset that looks exactly like every other one."
