Sing Sing 1992

"Sing Sing" (1992) by James Casebere is a photographic work that depicts a meticulously crafted model of a prison building. The stark white structure, rendered in a minimalist style, is illuminated by a single, dramatic beam of light. The repetitive windows create a sense of confinement and anonymity, highlighting themes of isolation and power dynamics. The photograph's monochrome palette and stark composition further emphasize the prison's imposing presence. Casebere's work explores the relationship between architecture and human experience, often using models to examine societal structures and their impact on individuals.
