“Chain of Love,” by Paul Graves on view at ILY2, New York
16 sculptural structures made from vintage filing cabinets and colorful plaster forms explore the relationship between collecting, obsession, and attachment. In total, the installation presents 98 intimate photographs from an anonymous archive discovered by Graves. The images document a woman known only as Florence, who spent decades photographing herself in restraints and meticulously cataloguing each image.
Arranged in narrow pathways that visitors must navigate, the work transforms her private collection into a reflection on memory, desire, repetition, and the emotional significance of the objects we preserve.
On view until December 19th
