Primarily known for her work in choreography, performance and dance, Hollander presents Heads/Tails, her first major exhibition without human actors. The installation consists of hundreds of used automobile headlights and taillights, covering opposite walls of the gallery, synched with the traffic signal at the nearby intersection of Walker Street and Broadway. As cars driving on Walker Street brake for the red light, the installation’s taillights illuminate in incremental and erratic patterns modeled after the behaviors of various types of New York City drivers—lost, rushed, frustrated, texting, tailgating, for example—turning off again when the light changes to green. At sunset the headlights switch to a “brights” setting and at sunrise they will revert to a “fog light” setting, mirroring the street traffic in a nonstop, 24/7 cycle.
