Over the course of 2020-2021, during the pandemic, Kara Walker has produced

series of drawings in the style of a medieval 'Book of Hours'. Enigmatic images appear to traverse a range of time periods, from scenes of biblical and mythological origins, to images of historical violence, to others that suggest more recent political strife. The highly personal nature of these images capture Walker's own response to the intersection of past and present as a way to understand our contemporary political moment.

在 2020-2021年疫情期间，卡拉·沃克（Kara Walker） 创作了一系列中世纪“时祷书”（Book of Hours，中世纪基督教徒的祈祷书）风格的绘画。神秘的图像似乎跨越了一系列时期，从圣经和神话起源的场景，到历史暴力的图像，再到其他暗示近期政治冲突的图像。这些图像的高度个性化捕捉了沃克自己对过去和现在的交叉重叠的反应，并以此作为理解我们当代政治的一种方式。
