The Corning Museum of Glass cares for and displays the world’s best collection of art and historic glass. I made this image in the museum’s new contemporary art and design galleries, just as a group of museum guards was conferring within one of its doorways. The floors, walls, and ceilings of these galleries are white, designed to best display the glassworks within. The all-white environment gives this image its airy feeling, while my shutter suspends the casual interaction of the guards in a moment of time. Works of art at right and in the gallery beyond add context.
