The “Broken Record” series seeks to understand the fabric of a neighborhood by examining the objects it casts off. This archive of ephemera, wich Wilson began curating in 2013, offers viewers a window into the language, movements, rhythms, habits, and rituals of a neighborhood in flux.
By removing ephemeral items from their environment and recontextualizing them, he hopes to excavate and isolate the alternative narratives, mappings, and wisdom located within such objects– affording them one last chance at utility before their eventual disintegration.
