Something (Perhaps a Fugue or an Elegy) 2005

"Something (Perhaps a Fugue or an Elegy)" (2005) by Jimmie Durham is an installation that includes a variety of found objects arranged on a wooden platform. The assemblage includes a tire, pipes, and other industrial materials, suggesting an exploration of the built environment and the objects that comprise it. Durham's work is often characterized by its use of humor and irony to address complex issues of identity, culture, and colonialism.
