Broadway: Now & Again
A lenticular composition bridges history and modernity, illuminating the evolution of a street corner.
Ilka Tanya Payán Plaza – Broadway and West 157 Street
October 2023 – March 2024
This site-specific installation displays alternating images of the intersection where it stands, at Broadway and W. 157th Street, in two distinct eras. Pedestrians trigger its lenticular, time-warp effect simply by walking by.
Transitioning from an archival image which depicts the site in 1910, into a contemporary photograph of the same location taken by Adrian Sas in 2023, Broadway: Now & Again publicly presents an unexpected and dynamic visual interplay that encourages contemplation of how time shapes our surroundings.
