Curatorial note

Seen from the curb, the two-tone red sedan with a silver rear bumper occupies the intersection's edge. A pronounced front-end dent marks the left side, and a bright orange fire hydrant sits just ahead of the car, grounding its presence in the street furniture of Kensington, West. Since its acquisition in December 2025, the work has persisted as a longitudinal record of a city block where mobility meets the curb.
