Fragments originated as a film installation that was projected onto a hanging screen as part of the 2000 exhibition Hold Still, Keep Going at the Folkwang Museum in Essen, Germany. Robert Frank created a puzzling juxtaposition of images taken in Cairo on January 11, 1993, of Egyptian snake charmers and their cobras, with those of a squeegee man weaving through car traffic on the Bowery in New York on April 8, 1971. — Museum of Modern Art
