“JFK (Greenish Lobby), from the series In the Place of the Public: Airport Series” is a photographic artwork created in 1990 by artist Martha Rosler. This work belongs to the Contemporary Realism movement and is a representation of public space through the medium of photography.
The artwork captures a scene within an airport lobby, characterized by a dimly lit, spacious environment highlighted with shades of green. There are several figures present, most notably two individuals engaged in conversation in the foreground, silhouetted against the brighter background of the check-in counters. The setting includes an information display and signage with an atmosphere that conveys a sense of waiting and transition. The composition effectively captures the essence of a public space, typical of Rosler’s exploration of such themes through her work.
