Walter De Maria, The Broken Kilometer

Recommended by Charles

I feel like people talk about Walter De Maria's Earth Room, while the Broken Kilometer, which is just around the corner, is hardly ever mentioned. Scale, order, perception, time. It’s just 500 brass rods on the floor, but I found it to be mesmerizing and moving.

Sat there for a long time and found myself thinking about these lines from the movie Inception: “You're waiting for a train. A train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you; but you don't know for sure. But it doesn't matter.”
