Gregory Lam-Niemeyer’s elevator installation Gravity interrogates the polarity of spiritual aspirations and mortal dread as it conjoins images of ascent and descent. With the approval of the descendants of the victims, photojournalist and artist Lam-Niemeyer has digitally incorporated a 1978 archaeological research photograph of a 600 year old Crow Creek Indian burial ground into the structure of the elevator. The work raises troubling questions about the metaphorical representation of thought, the politics of civil strife, and the often cruel intersection of memory and history.
