"The long, anxious global twillight called the cold war began with the fall of Berlin in 1945 and lasted more or less, until the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989. It probably reached its peak with the Cuban missile crisis, in 1962, when people the world over understood that the United States and the U.S.S.R were poised to rain thousands of nuclear missiles on each other. In this sculptural montage, the artist Sandy Skoglund seeks to evoke what she calls the "damp feeling" that seeped into every facet of ordinary life. The standard official advice to `duck and cover´ notwithstanding, everyone understood that there was no escape - that nuclear war would mean the end of the world."
