Curatorial note

From the curb at 1908 S 69th St, the rear of a black SUV anchors the composition, its PA license plate legible within the glossy surface. Acquired January 2026, the curbside presence has 99 days on view, recording the duration of everyday passage. The work sits within the collection's ongoing documentation of street life in South Philadelphia, where ordinary objects persist as memorials of municipal memory.
