-ON THE THE LEHMAN TRILLOGY
"Lighting designer Sammy Webster’s lighting functions as part of the “stage set.” Rectangle LED flush-mount ceiling light boxes that provide white, blue, and purple colors give an industrial 21st-century feel, the eve of the collapse of Lehman Brothers—September 15, 2008. Indeed, all the furniture pieces and props (pens, a phone, coffee cups, and more) are from this decade, alluding to the ghosts of the three founders visiting The Lehman Brothers’ office. Sectionally focused lighting illuminates each of the three desks separately or collectively, literally treating them as different locales and territories, including the fabric shop in Montgomery, Alabama, the brothers’ house, the New York Stock Exchange, and other places in Alabama and NYC."
