Scott Redford's photographs of the shiny stainless steel urinals commonly installed in public men's rooms (2000-1) entertain a curious relationship to the discourse of art history, and the history of Redford's own art. Conceived as a series and roughly life-size, they reproduce the experience of urinals for men and reveal it to women. The photographs make the urinals into pure surface - frozen moments where the flushed cleansing water is captured and conveyed, like sublime landscape paintings of awesome waterfalls. They make a kind of pure picture a pure reflective surface, a pure experience.
