DescriptionIn 1972, Matta-Clark photographed a number of facade-less, interior-exposed buildings that were abandoned and in the midst of being demolished. Today, this series of monochrome photographs is called Walls. What was primarily photographed were the "projects," or low-income housing in the Bronx and the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The photographs captured accidental forms made by peeling wallpaper and paint, the stains perhaps made by objects that had been against the walls through passages of time, and by clapboards and pipe holes.
With the help of his friend Joan Simon, Matta-Clark made offset prints of Walls on sheets of newspaper. Through this printing, details of the photographs were obscured and the images of the Walls were made abstract. In addition, color combinations such as bluered, yellow-green were applied. This became the work Walls Paper.
