Monument is an installation by Polish-born American artist Krzysztof Wodiczko at Madison Square Park. Wodiczko collaborated with twelve refugees who have fled war and instability in their home countries and have been resettled in the US. The installation features the filmed likenesses of these refugees projected onto the 1881 monument of Admiral David Glasgow Farragut, a Union naval Civil War hero. The artist chose the Farragut monument for this project to “compare how select individuals are lionized in wartime and others are overlooked.” With footage and audio from individuals from Africa, Central America, South Asia, and the Middle East, the bronze monument emerges as a “surrogate for refugees whose diverse plights, harrowing journeys, grueling fortitude, and quest for democracy have recently brought them to this country.” The twenty-five minute projection runs from 5pm to 8pm Monday to Saturday through May 10, 2020.
