Reclaiming the Monument, 2020

Dustin Klein projected a powerful image of the late George Floyd onto the Robert E. Lee monument in Richmond, VA. In the Reclaiming the Monument series, Klein has projected other victims of police brutality as well as influential BlPOC. The artist’s reasoning for projecting these influential figures is to provide periods of healing and inspiration. The projections have created a positive space for grieving and paying respect for victims. Label by Olivia Falb
