"Damage" by Michael Murphy
Damage is composed of a sea of 1,200 black ping pong balls suspended from the ceiling. Murphy is best known for installations that play with perspective, like this piece which needs to be viewed from just the right angle. Damage is intended to demonstrate that, like most political beliefs, gun control is all about your point of view. Murphy told the Times Free Press "Guns are fetishized in the U.S. Many, many Americans love guns. I'm creating a giant gun." He continues, "I just want people to keep talking about guns [and] why we should have guns. Communication is necessary because I don't see any sort of solution being proposed."
