The Meeting

The Meeting Two walls, 20 images each, intersect at a corner. On the video monitor at the intersection a woman braids her long white hair. The people on the left side are from San Ildefonso Pueblo; they helped to select the objects that would represent their culture. The people on the right side are scientists from the Manhattan Project; the objects are all related to the making of the atomic bomb.
