Detroit Monolith, It's Full of Holes
2011
Around 2009-2010, Edgar Arceneaux, whose work explores questions of place and memory, began to focus more particularly on the city of Detroit, symbol of economic decline and social disturbance. Combining past and present, memory and fantasy, these works allude to city basements, repositories of history, such as that of the riots of 1967, the “underground” spaces of the 1990s Techno scene, and the ghosts said to haunt the great lakes of Michigan. Resembling a science-fiction image, Detroit Monolith, it’s full of holes, suggests a ruined urban landscape as seen in the future.
