Fragments

Fragments is a film installation created by Robert Frank, projected during the 2000 exhibition Hold Still, Keep Going at the Folkwang Museum in Essen, Germany. The film features a striking juxtaposition of images, including Egyptian snake charmers and their cobras taken in Cairo on January 11, 1993, alongside scenes of a squeegee man navigating car traffic on the Bowery in New York City from April 8, 1971.

This unique approach to storytelling through visual contrast makes Fragments an interesting piece for collectors of avant-garde cinema and installation art. The film's unconventional format and thematic exploration of urban life and cultural intersections may appeal to those interested in Robert Frank's larger body of work and the evolution of film as an art form. Collectors may appreciate the opportunity to own a piece that reflects the experimental spirit of the early 2000s.
