Tatiana Trouvé: Desire Lines

About the Exhibition

For her first public commission in the United States, Tatiana Trouvé (b. 1968, Cosenza, Italy) has made a work that responds to Central Park. She came to see the miles of pedestrian paths that traverse its landscape as similar to the arteries of a living being. There’s no singular way to walk through the park, but rather a multitude of possible routes that may be followed according to our own desires.

Drawing on existing maps, Trouvé isolated all of the marked pathways in the park and estimated their distances. She identified 212, from secluded paths to prominent thoroughfares, ranging in length from around 60 feet to four miles. Translating her research into three-dimensional form, Trouvé created three large-scale storage racks that house a total of 212 spools. Each spool is wound with rope equivalent in length to a corresponding pathway and labeled to identify its location in the park.

Trouvé’s work is also a reflection on the broader cultural significance of walking. It’s an activity that ranges from personal recreation to political statement, and has inspired poets, musicians, writers, and artists. Thus, Trouvé has associated each pathway with a title drawn from culture and history that relates to walking. In this way, Desire Lines is both a systematic inventory of the park and an invitation to explore the political and poetic resonance of the simple act of taking a walk.

This exhibition is curated by Nicholas Baume

Explore the Exhibition

In late 2011, Tatiana Trouvé began working with Public Art Fund to develop Desire Lines, a site-responsive work for the southeast entrance to Central Park. As part of her process, she identified 212 paths through the park, stitching them on a map. Each path was then measured and a length of colored rope cut to match it. In Doris C. Freedman Plaza, these ropes have been wound onto 212 wooden spools and mounted on three large racks. The combined lengths of the ropes featured in the work are approximately equal to the total length of the paths in the park.

Each of the 212 spools of rope features a title that Trouvé has assigned it: a “p”, or path, number; a geographical title, which is a literal description of the route it measures; and a cultural title referring to a well-known march or walk from the realms of history, politics, music, literature, and art. With its inventory of spools of colored rope and titling system, the work becomes a kind of index to Central Park as well as a cultural atlas of walking.
