"Summer Sets" is a monumental installation in which a hyper-realistic, digitally constructed image of Boston's Dock Square covers the frontal view of the statue of Sam Adams, which marks the central focus of the space. The image renders a perspective devoid of the statue's presence or any humans, condensing a contemporary dislocation —one in which the city as the container of modernity's dream is flattened as a background for a new economy of personal landmarking — into a sort of two-way mirror. "Summer Sets uses" the language of development marketing to staging an idealized image of an ahistorical future. This gesture questions the instrumentalization of revolutionary collective energy in exercises that make way for new capital to appear in the shape of progress
