 6 Feet Apart: X Grid Tiles, 2023 

 

.

 Pigment Print on Masonite 100cm x 60cm 


This typology investigates the ubiquitous ground markers directing people queueing up to keep 6 feet apart to prevent the spread of COVID-19. These markers are often just a single piece of tape adhered to concrete and distressed from months of being stepped on. These 20 wood tiles form an imperfect grid, a metaphor for the imperfection of our response and the distress the pandemic put on our bodies and minds.

Artist profile

Ari Salomon’s work is rooted in reinterpreting the tradition of street photography. He takes the performative process of discovering candid people and places and gives it a twist. He is also interested in how photography can reveal the nature and limitations of human perception.

He was born in Israel, raised in San Diego and now is based in San Francisco
