Disaster Area: 911
An area Minter calls 911, made of multiple loosely interconnected sculptures. Prominent are two tall oxidized sheets of metal that function as doors for a passageway into the area. They are painted on one side. Painted in yellow words, one reads: "911 / AND GOD / SHALL / WIPE ALL / TEARS / FROM / THEIR / EYES / FORGIVE / US LORD / SAVE / US." Painted in yellow and faded red, the other sign reads: "911 / WORLD/ TRADE CENTER / [indiscernible] / HIJACKED / AIRPLANES / NEW YORK / [three lines indiscernible] / 3000 / [three lines indiscernible] / GOD SAVE US / WASHINGTON D.C. / F: 77 / PENNSYLVANIA / F: 99." Broken toys are scattered across the area, including plastic horses and dump trucks, alongside twisted metal and other discarded objects. In some locations, the twisted metal is topped with gloves to resemble hands reaching out. In the center of the area is a rectangle paved with uneven bricks like a patio and bordered by heaps of concrete bricks and rocks. In the center is a pillar of wood on which is nailed an ornate metal cross. The pillar is topped with concrete and the bust of the statue of liberty. At the base are a number of smaller human figurines (potentially stone), a ring of "Big Mouth Billy Bass" talking fish toys, themselves surrounded by a ring of plastic boats. There are a number of car doors in the area, including a detached "RESCUE / CALL 911" door with an orange stripe and an apparently accompanying door that says "AIRPORT." On another door is painted, in yellow "EXODUS / 14:13-14 / BE STILL KNOW / I AM GOD / LET MY PEOPLE / GO." Another sheet of metal in the area is painted "2011 NEW MEXICO / FIRES / GOD FORGIVE US / GOD SAVE US/ LOS ALAMOS / OVER 90,000 [indiscernible] / LAS CONCHAS / DATE STARTED 6/26/2022 / CAUSE - HUMAN / SIZE - 130,691 ACRES / PERSONNEL [indiscernible number] 2,557 + 63 - CREW."
