Jacob’s ladder

Overview

Haim Steinbach’s Jacob’s ladder, 1997, an installation of an aluminum ladder encompassed by industrial shelving abutting a metal stud wall, not only obstructs the visitors’ path by dividing the gallery on the diagonal, but also inverts and transposes interior and exterior. True to Steinbach’s work, the boundaries between the presentation and what is being presented are extended further than the limits of the display devices.
