Between the phone and the window is currently on display at stop-gap projects located at 810 East Walnut Street Columbia, MO. The title for the show comes from an essay by Eman Abdelhadi titled “Recognition is Solidarity.”
Excerpt from press release
"For her site-specific installation at stop-gap projects, Between the phone and the window, Steppe has created printed curtains that act as both screen and mirror. Combining Google Street View photos of the buildings across from the gallery with photographs Steppe took through the window of her Chicago studio, the curtains’ patterns are at once familiar and distorted. Intended to be viewed through the gallery windows and from the sidewalk, Steppe’s installation considers how photography itself might be like a window: a view into a space that simultaneously reflects what is outside. This meeting of inside and outside is mediated by technology as well as individual history, social connections, and political forces."
