Tokyo Trickle 1970

"Tokyo Trickle" is a black and white photograph by German-American conceptual artist Hans Haacke, created in 1970. The image depicts a close-up view of a concrete surface, likely a street or sidewalk, marked by a thin white line down the center. The line bisects the image, dividing the otherwise simple composition into two distinct areas - one lighter and one darker. The contrast between the light and dark sections, coupled with the seemingly mundane subject matter, evokes a sense of urban decay and the passage of time. Haacke is known for his work that often addresses social and political issues.
