The Broken Kilometer

New York, NY

Walter De Maria arranged 500 polished brass rods in five precisely spaced rows inside this SoHo storefront, creating a total combined length of one kilometer. The 1979 installation remains permanently maintained by Dia Art Foundation and is free to visit during posted hours.
