Still Life. Ecologies of the Modern Imagination at the Art Museum it’s an ethnography about the world of art and museums. It provides the opportunity to know thoroughly the conservation, repair, and maintenance practices that help to generate artistic objects, but also our modern imagination. It's an approach that poses itself as “ecological” because it attends to the enormous amount of time, ceaseless labor, sophisticated technology, and expensive infrastructure needed to feed this big “aesthetic machine”, the museum.
