Closer view of the same billboard. Not legible here but faintly visible is an arch of yellow text overlaying the photo. This describes the photo and my interest in it, providing more context as you get up close to the piece.

About:
A billboard showing a photo I took in 2021 of a surreally long, continuous string of benches in Central Park. Overlaying the photo is a yellow arch of text describing my interest in it.

The text reads:
“More bench than I thought possible. Image description: A super long, continuous park bench, going seemingly endlessly into the distance along a pathway. It’s the length of 20-30 standard benches. And no arm rests, so the back and seat are uninterrupted surfaces. Totally empty. A dream of limitless seating. Central Park, New York / April 2021”
