In conservation

The photographic record of this work is undergoing conservation treatment and is not presently on display. The work itself remains in the permanent collection.

Curatorial note

Seen at Comly Street, the work anchors the curb as a black sedan with a front-right bumper deformation, its torn plastic fragment resting on the pavement. The car is positioned amid passing cars and winter snow, capturing a moment of street-level inertia. Acquired February 2026 and on view for 88 days, this piece stands among a set of city-sourced objects that record the durability of ordinary mobility.
