"Monument to the Unelected" reminds us how our political traditions shape the narrative of democracy, giving space for reflection on losing candidates and the broader electoral process.
Katchadourian highlights how the election signs, which represent individual campaigns, come alive temporarily, reflecting the transitory nature of political recognition and historical memory.
The installation, spanning many years, encapsulates a rich tradition in American politics, serving as both a celebration of participation and a meditation on the value of every vote.
Katchadourian’s art not only memorializes those who didn’t win but also engages the new generation of voters in acknowledging the importance of electoral history.
