Sometimes when you bring the landscape in, objects follow."

- Mike Nesbit, 2021.

Text message conversation between Mike Nesbit and C. Prinz

CP: Hey! This is random, but we cut this car in half for this shoot I'm on and afterwards it's going to be trashed - if you happen to want it let me know haha I was like who do I know who would mayyyybe want this? You came to mind, but of course no pressure haha.

MN: Yes, I need this!

CP: The only thing is that you won't be able to let this be seen publicly until this film comes out in late July/early August - does that still work for you?

MN: That would work, I would just have it photographed and then digitally exhibit it after that. But I would want to show it privately, I'm more interested in capturing the image.

CP: On its way to you hahaha.

An object, somewhat neglected and a bit undervalued, sits in the landscape around 7th and 57th. A moment of recognition comes into play and an action is taken, a slice of confirmation. And through this confirmation something emerges, at 12:38 on October 16th, 2020, the light comes in and slices the void. To bring the landscape in, to recognize an object lying dormant and yet not forgotten. And from the light comes thoughts and ideas that travel back into the landscape searching for another moment of recognition towards an object neglected. Another action performed and once again a dormant object springs back to life and the idea is no longer a thought but something real. The object makes its way back to the void, idling at a pace of cruise control between light and shadow, void and solid, still and fast, forgotten and recognized.
