Mona Lisa Behind the Doors of Louvre Museum
, 2020
150 x 200 cm (h x w)
In this meme, Mona Lisa is edited to be reclining on her chair with her feet up. Her smile is unmistakably happy. The humor of the meme is its suggestion that the great, iconic works shuttered therein are letting us know how exhausted they were with our usual attention. It points to the larger question of: What is art doing now that we are no longer looking at it?
