Under where?

"Under the Glass Bell, A Dream" is a photo show by New York artist Grace Kim. It opens tonight at Brooklyn's Melanie Flood Projects. The title is plucked from Anaïs Nin’s short story, “Under a Glass Bell.” The black and white series depicts just-emptied beds and rooms at love hotels in Seoul, South Korea.

"Lovers are known to use the hotels for secret affairs," Kim explains on her Web site. "I photograph the beds just after they have departed. My photographs are personal reflections on the passage of time and the ephemeral nature of love."
