Marty Margulies’ Olafur Grid

an eight-row grid of photos, perhaps even portraits, of individual islands in iceland by olafur eliasson. though they're all the same width, the photos on the top rows are shorter, more horizontal in their orientation, hugging the more horizontal island profiles, while the lower rows, for the chunky boys, are squarer. via lempertz

The first place I saw Olafur Eliasson’s Islands Series photogrid was in MoMA’s New Photography show. The second place I saw it was in Marty Margulies’ master bathroom in Miami. That’s Marty’s above, which is now for sale in Germany, perhaps destined for less humid climes.
