Before & After Construction
Giulia Cenci
secondary forest
April 2024 – March 2025
Location
On The High Line at 24th Street
Giulia Cenci creates elaborate sculptures and installations by fusing industrial elements and organic forms, arranging them into jarring compositions that invite viewers to question human’s relationship with nature. Cenci’s work features animals, plants, and human appendages cast from melted-down scrap metal, reusing found objects, agricultural tools, old machinery, and car parts. These seemingly disparate elements are then hung, suspended, or pierced together like pieces of meat, morphing into a wild habitat void of hierarchy—where a human bone is treated with the same care as the branch of a tree or a wolf’s face.

This is a dual album as these two major construction projects are situated just across 24th street @ Queens Plaza South from one another
If you have a NYC Transit reflective vest, you can seemingly park anywhere for free in all of NYC. Seems to also work for construction workers' vests/placards
Who's to say these people even work for NYC Transit, or in construction for that matter. Apparently it works, as I walk to/fro my place of employment every day and see this all the time

The Sunnyside Train Yard, Queens, NYC is comprised of 180 acres (72.8 hectares), which is 6x the footprint of Hudson Yards, 2x the size of Battery Park City, and 30 acres larger than Roosevelt Island. As with the other yards (Atlantic & Hudson), Sunnyside is also slated to have a platform constructed above it, so as to further erect buildings and roads atop that. For several years now major realtors have been building properties around the perimeter of the Sunnyside Yard. They're all like vultures, waiting on the kill.

This afternoon I made it mid-span of the Honeywell Street bridge when the heavens opened up and a wall of water came pouring down and didn't let up until I arrived back home, a mile later. It was wonderful

The UBB aka Unending Building Boom has been slowly suffocating everything in its intensity. And still, they continue to build. This photo was taken from atop the Honeywell Street bridge which spans across the Sunnyside Train Yard. In time a platform will be constructed above the yard, and 180 acres (73 hectares) of railway land will be transformed into the next New York City

Pretty, just don't touch it. The flowers are poisonous to people and the leaves, upon touch, can produce Contact Dermatitis, just like poison ivy.

Growing to 10 meters (33 feet), it is a vigorous, deciduous woody vine, notable for its showy trumpet-shaped flowers. It inhabits woodlands and riverbanks, and is also a popular garden plant.
C. radicans is a vine that climbs on trees, other plants, or structures or trails along the ground. From the main vine, rigid or woody arching vines up to 2 meters (7 feet) long extend outward. The plant can form a dense groundcover or an aggressive liana covering plants or buildings. The leaves are opposite and odd-pinnately compound, meaning there is an odd number of leaflets, with one terminal leaflet.
C. radicans climbs through aerial rootlets and twining stems; these stems grow upwards of 12 m in length. Its bark is tan in color, and shreds easily.

Crain's New York Business, March 7, 2024
Midtown-based Fisher Bros. has parted ways with a Long Island City site where it once hoped to build a 240-unit project.
The real estate firm has sold 42-50 24th St. to developer Chris Xu's United Construction & Development for $57.5 million, property records show. The deal will add to Xu's already substantial portfolio of Queens projects.
The Hakim Organization and Property Markets Group bought the site in 2015 for $69 million, and the real estate website New York YIMBY published renderings of a 74-story tower planned for the address in 2018. However, in 2019 Fisher Bros. prefiled plans for a 35-story project at the site that would span about 255,000 square feet with 240 residential units, 40,000 square feet of commercial space and a hotel.

The first incarnation of the lollipop was probably invented by our cave-dwelling ancestors, who collected honey from beehives with sticks. In order to not waste any of the sweet nectar they had collected, these cavepeople probably ended up licking the sticks, perhaps creating the earliest form of the lollipop.
Historians and archaeologists believe that many ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, Arabians and the Chinese used to preserve fruits, nuts and other confections by covering them with honey. Sticks were inserted in these concoctions to make them easier to eat and keep your hands from getting all sticky. This practical invention is so simple that historians believe the lollipop could have been invented and reinvented numerous times throughout the course of human history.

This plot was to have been a 17 story hotel, though as with many sites there was either a stop work order, or the deal fell through completely.

I feel how this section of Long Island City is on the brink of blasting off on the super sonic gentrification rocket, as the LIC BID expanded into this area, and the building pace will increase significantly in 2026.
