Ghost of Progress, single-channel DVD, 2002

For the 1:100 exhibition, Paul Ramirez Jonas scours the neighborhood for stray bricks, bringing them into the gallery and building a section of brick wall. Although dividing or supporting nothing in particular, the unused bricks are given an optimistic second life as work of art.
