Untitled (From the History Series), 1999, is a pairing of two photographs from the artist's body of work shot on location at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY. In it, Jacobson sought to show the same kind of emotion and sensitivity he has brought to his live subjects; specifically, these works single in on the nature of memory and time as represented by an inanimate object such as a sculpture or painting. He points this out in particular by showing how these 'figures' can represent the human spirit, while essentially being 'dead' objects. Working with the museum collection, Jacobson was struck by how the subjects not only speak of the past but the future as well.
