As noted in our previous post, we are now going to share the activity of the last few days in Memento style reverse chronological order starting with the exhibition itself.
The moveable wall contains a random series of samples at different depths throughout the sample zone adjacent to the site. At some points the water is completely clear at others, taken closer to the surface, the samples contain algae and small bugs.
The wall zig zags to respond to the site boundaries, to strengthen the wall in the face of increased wind loads and enables a dynamic series of compressed volumes. One panel remains clear to frame a view of the undeveloped dock.
Throughout the day attracted many inquisitive passerby's from children to the elderly, locals and tourists. Most were fascinated to learn that the pollution was only evident in the top layers and were suggesting that if it is only so deep then perhaps it may be easy to return to its natural state.
More images of the exhibition are available
here via Gus Kollar's flickr stream and will be added to the Urban Realities facebook page as the exhibition continues today.
