Standing on the masses
If you look at this installation by Do Ho Suh at the Lehmann Maupin gallery from a few feet away, it doesn’t look like much — just a few square feet of glass floor…
But then you get closer and look down at it… What is this?
You still can’t tell, so you crouch down for a better look…
Wait a second–
This is supposed to be a metaphor, isn’t it?

Makes me think of Harry Potter and the Wizard Throne built on the bodies of the muggles and non-wizards…
It is a metafloor.
Ha!
I’m thinking Yertle the Turtle.
Let all men hope it’s a metaphor!
“It is a metafloor.” Indeed.
maybe it represents how the 99% are the foundation for the 1%
