"Standing on the Moon," an outdoor installation of sculptures by Adam Parker Smith, is on view at the Watermill Center through March 1, 2023. Mr. Smith's "Sarcophagi," which resemble sub-zero sleeping bags, are made from resin, steel, and urethane, and stand upright in the landscape on marble plinths.
Created over the past year in response to global loss, they suggest a time of elaborate burial rites, when entombing a body in stone could preserve it for centuries. The shapes also call to mind the pods that contain alien life forms in the film "Invasion of the Body Snatchers."
