Brooklyn

Walter Martin & Paloma Muñoz

Snow Day

2013

Walter Martin & Paloma Muñoz, Snow Day , 2013, chromogenic print, PS 133, Brooklyn Snow D ay is large-scale photograph designed specifically for PS 133K. The nearly 26 foot long artwork depicts a fantasy winter landscape similar to something one would see in a snow globe. To create this piece, the artists first made a real model of the scene and then photographed it extensively from multiple angles. This process, called tiling, allowed them to seamlessly meld together numerous digital images into one grand panorama. The focal point is a tall glacial island on top of which stands a majestic school, modeled to look like the old PS 133. Young students are seen making their way to the island school; some coming down from the village island, some on boats making their way across the water, and others aboard make-shift sailboats. Children are shown playing and having fun in what many kids describe as their favorite type of school day: a snow day. Like the various architectural elements recovered from the original building and relocated in the new school, this artwork serves as a historical reminder, helping to serve as a bridge from the past to the present. A memory of the original PS 133 carries on as an island retreat in this wonderland world where all days are snow days.
