Marina City

art by Geneviève Dumas

White square divided into four square panels: from left to right, top to bottom, the first an image of two buildings from below, rounded balconies jutting out and stacked like coins, arranged circularly; the second an old photograph labeled "MAY 65" on the edge of the grame, a white woman squinting as she leans to get up from her beach towel, beside a white child face-down, two light-skinned sunbathers on separate islands of towels and beachfare in the background; the third an illustration of two figures from behind, characters from a film by Pier Paolo Pasolini, one in a polka dot shirt holding a bag, the other in a tank top and heels, in the background abstract and curving shapes like leaning black rectangles and large blue and peach circles; the final panel a close-up photograph of a light-skinned face, a light-skinned finger entering its slightly open mouth.

Translucently overlaid on the panels are curved lettering at top-left above two figures leaning on each other, one in sunglasses; thick block lettering vertically down just left of center; and at right, a figure in a black suit holding what something nondescript, cropped so all we can see is their shoulder, their arm, their hand and the item it holds, and the top of their lower half.
