The workers at Newsstands reminded me of my first job in NYC. I worked at Penn Station and I [would] remember people who passed that area every day when they didn’t even realize it. Newsstands are like the wallflowers of the city—a staple of snacks and periodicals—yet their existences are often ignored by those who are passing by. Thus I constructed a typological study that recorded the appearance and changes of newsstands; by looking within, [I noticed that while] their disposition is often shy and reserved, they do have the most interesting stories to tell.
"Glimmer" represents their stories and personalities and "Dust" represents their presumable absence of existence and the quality of wallflowers.
