I Had Never Heard Of Sculptures Refered To As Psychogeographies,

before,

 until I saw the work of Brooklyn-based artist Dustin Yellin,
 he calls them Psychogeographies because “they feel like maps of the psyche.” each large-scale sculpture is individually embellished with bizarre found objects—cut-up books, magazines and trash found on the street—which are then sealed within layers of glass,

 “Imagine if you were to make a drawing on a window,” said Yellin, explaining his process. “and then you were to take another window and glue it to that window… until you had a window sandwich, I make window sandwiches.”
a grand total of 15 of these “window sandwiches,” each weighing in at 3,000 pounds each, were installed in the atrium of the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Centre, the installation is on view for all performances through March 1, 2015 but there’s also free public viewing through February 22,

I found the whole exhibition totally fascinating, so I looked at this video to see how the works were made, amazing!
