The German photography artist Michael Wesely was invited by the Museum of Modern Art in New York to record the re-development of their building in 2001. Using self-built pinhole cameras he left his shutters open for 34 months; capturing the destruction and re-construction of the MoMA, as well as the life revolving around it. The result are several beautiful, ghostly images that evoke both a sense of motion and time standing still.
