text: In Force Life, authority assumes many forms: the gaze of the camera that scans and surveils the supine, still body; the speakers that declare the transitions between Nashat’s and Linder’s work; the security officers who observe and regulate visitors’ interactions with the work; the authority wielded by the artist and curators and in the entire enterprise of the Museum itself.
