The exhibition also addresses the decline of shop windows in today’s urban landscapes, as seen in Sayre Gomez’s photorealistic paintings and Gregory Crewdson’s atmospheric photography. Despite their diminishing presence, shop windows continue to serve as mirrors of societal change, as documented by artists like Martha Rosler, who captured the gentrification of her New York neighborhood in Greenpoint: New Fronts (2015).

Through installations, performances, and multimedia works, the exhibition underscores the enduring significance of shop windows as spaces for artistic experimentation and societal reflection. The curated pieces illuminate how these once-commercial spaces transcend their original purpose to engage with contemporary cultural and political narratives.
