This is an installation called ‘Please Be Seated’. What the Getty says: ‘The installation blends footage from decorative arts galleries in the Getty Museum and three French museums with live video captured by a surveillance camera.
‘As you sit in reproductions of the original chairs, you become part of the installation, virtually entering historic recreations of 18th-century French spaces. With this installation Cohen compresses time and space to create a metaphorical game of musical chairs.’
