Screens - a photo on Flickriver

Screens

            It was late afternoon on the 6th Floor of the Whitney Museum, and  I was waiting for the elevator. I noticed several people silhouetted against the light streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Soon there was just one person, and as I casually clicked the shutter, the window shades started to lower. The man here was focused on his phone and didn't notice that I took his photo. On the television screen was a video (which I didn't watch) of a city skyline across water, strategically  positioned in front of this window, overlooking the Hudson River and the Hoboken, New Jersey skyline. The Whitney is exhibiting the Biennial right now, delayed a year by COVID, and a docent told me the 6th floor is deliberately dark and broken up into a warren of dark, tiny rooms, meant to represent the isolation of the first year of COVID's social isolation.
