This somewhat conceptual work has been around long enough for the stone blocks to crack and for weeds to grow in. But it's still a nice plaza that shows the original names of the streets that were in the downtown area of colonial Philadelphia.
A temporary installation on White Wharf
Rockport, Massachusetts
Utilizing the off-season resource of stored lobster pots found along the coast line, the temporary installation will provide a public room for the community and to visitors during the month of February.
The proposal is intended for day and evening habitation, for individuals and groups, for informal gatherings and private contemplation. Constructed of local lobster pots of various colors wrapped in cheesecloth and iced down nightly the pots engage the fundamental principles of prospect and refuge. During the day hours the pots and their scrim of iced cheesecloth form a homogeneous enclosure and through openings provide distant views to the horizon and slotted views back to town. In the evening the pots are illuminated with lamps contained within the pots and through the thin shell of ice, their glow
will reflect the various colors of the found pots.
Contributing to the form will be the daily cycles of freeze/thaw, patterns form due to exposure to, or lack of sun and wind. The final form of the installation following the month long installation will respond to, and be shaped by it’s micro-context.
Found this photo taken by it is i, dominic and thought it got the looks of a movie poster, so I made one out of it.
Just so you get it right:
