Works

Matta-Clark was known for his 'building cuts,' architectural interventions where he carved geometric sections out of condemned buildings, documented through photography and film. His radical practice explored urban decay, deindustrialization, and the politics of space, with iconic works like 'Splitting' (1974) and 'Conical Intersect' (1975). His work is featured in major museum collections including MoMA and the Whitney.
