Untitled
Glenn Ligon's Rückenfigur presents the word AMERICA in glowing warm white neon, a beacon of promise and identity. Below, an identical unlit version hangs inverted, its dark form and exposed wiring suggesting a shadowed, more complex reality underlying the national ideal. This powerful duality invites contemplation on the multifaceted and often contradictory nature of America itself.
