Barbara Kruger has a new installation at New York’s Lever House. Launching last month, the artist covered the entire gallery including the windows with words and phrases. This is what the artist had to say: “I think what I’m trying to do is create moments of recognition. To try to detonate some kind of feeling or understanding of lived experience.

You can view the installation until November 21st.
