What makes obelisks so irresistible to the builders of empires? From Roman emperors to Charles X, and from Queen Victoria to William H. Vanderbilt, throughout history much expense and effort has been dedicated to acquiring, moving, and emplacing obelisks at key sites in the West. Gary Green’s photographs explore the relationship between Rome, its Egyptian obelisks, and the people who move through the city’s piazzas and streets as part of a constantly changing urban environment. Meanwhile, Gianluca Rizzo’s poems contemplate the forms this ancient symbol has taken across the United States, from the imposing Washington Monument to Boston’s Bunker Hill.
