JoAnn Verburg (b. 1950). Photograph titled "Missing Children," 1988. Chromogenic print. In an interview for the Walker Art Center magazine that was published on September 11, 2012, Verburg said in relation to this photograph, "my first photo that included text. This piece [showing a breakfast table set with food and a milk carton bearing the images of two missing children] is life-size, with part of the table in the foreground. There’s a sense of presence that you’re there at the table, that it is your—the viewer’s—presence. As you look at the picture, it’s your time. You’re breathing the same air as is in this photograph. I really like that. If that does work, that’s a really important part—that present moment of the gallery, and the present moment of the photograph getting confused a little bit, the boundarylessness of that. Beyond that, there’s this tension represented by what’s on the milk cartons. In the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York
