Across the series, the figures move steadily away from the artist's likeness. In later works, Whicker's body is replaced by a surrogate generated from his appearance, which the artist referred to as the "synthetic artist." The figures keep the poses, gestures, and decisions of their maker while gradually losing his face. Titles such as The Artist at Work and Stand-In point to the central question of the exhibition: where the artist is located once he no longer appears in his own portrait.

"I thought if I kept enough records, I wouldn't lose track of myself," Whicker wrote.

Each object is accompanied by an unusually extensive documentary record, including source photographs, witness images, condition reports, handling documentation, and surveillance views. These materials are presented alongside the works because they have become inseparable from them. In several cases, later records revise or contradict earlier ones. The Museum has chosen to preserve these discrepancies.

The exhibition concludes with LT-009 — Occupant and LT-010 — In Transit. Visitors are encouraged to consult the object records.
