    The Road Not Taken is a wooden figure with a horse skull from which electrical cables with loose ends come out. The photo seen here shows this artwork as it was first exhibited in the St. Elisabeth-Kirche in Berlin. This Neo-Classical building from 1835 served as a church before it was almost totally destroyed during World War II except for its outside walls. It remained a ruin for more than 40 years until it became a venue for concerts and exhibitions. Jimmie Durham has made the ensemble of works shown at the exhibition Metaphrase/Metathesis in 2007 especially for this space.
