locker 4173b
by Joey Rizzolo & Christopher Borg
Christopher Borg and Joey Rizzolo bid on the contents of a foreclosed storage space and, through a rigorous process through which they catalogued over 1000 items, reconstructed the lives of its former owners. That reconstruction is Locker 4173b, told through the lens of amateur archaeologists amid a gallery of mundane artifacts. The result is a profile of economic insecurity, a story about how heroic legacy is determined not so much by feats of greatness, but by whether or not your hero can afford rent.
