The Windows of 97 Orchard Street:
"Breach" an art installation by Michael Rakowitz
The latest installment of the "Windows of 97
Orchard" series is
"Breach", a mixed-media exploration of the
physical and mental
isolation of working in a garment factory.
Indeed, the garment
factory often functions as an impenetrable
fortress, obstructing
views in or our through the exlusion of windows.
The fortress
breached through louvered inudstiral fans that
provide brief
glimpses into the workers' worlds. In repsonse
to the presence
of pedestrians or viewers, the fans in the
installation turn off
and on, blowing the louvers open to reveal
back-lit photographs
of actual sweatship interiors and the concealed
workers.
