Galen Gibson-Cornell’s Kamen weaves together fragments of urban life from Plovdiv, New York City, and Lviv, creating a richly textured composition that reflects the layered histories of these cities. Sourced from found street posters, the piece captures remnants of color, text, and imagery, blending them into a unified yet fragmented surface. The weaving process distorts and reshapes these elements, mirroring the way public spaces evolve through time, with posters being placed, torn, and replaced. Kamen serves as both a preservation of urban ephemera and a meditation on the fleeting nature of visual culture in the cityscape.
