The Hollywood Suites (Bound Doors) #5 1976

"The Hollywood Suites (Bound Doors) #5" (1976) by Steve Kahn (1943-2018) is a black and white photograph depicting a closed door. The simple composition focuses on the door's surface, emphasizing its closed state through a series of markings and the presence of a latch. The faint outlines of the door suggest a sense of confinement, while the black dot at the center of the image acts as a focal point, drawing the viewer's attention to the closed space. The artwork belongs to a larger series exploring the themes of boundaries, privacy, and isolation in a world of interconnectedness. Kahn's work often combines minimalist aesthetics with social commentary.
