The artist Walead
Beshty is concerned
with in-between
spaces and what
happens to an
artwork as it moves
through such spaces.
This photograph,
from the artist’s
Transparencies
series, was made by
passing unused film
through LAX’s security
x-ray machine. The
photo documents
its own movement
in washes of color
and line, offering an
image of its liminal
moments before
embarking on a new
journey.
