In this video, Sarah Sze elaborates on the creation of her solo exhibition Timelapse, on view through September 10, 2023.

In Sze’s reimagination of the Guggenheim’s iconic architecture, designed in the 1940s by Frank Lloyd Wright, the building becomes a public timekeeper reminding us that timelines are built through shared experience and memory.
