Topia...All We Need is U by Cody Herrmann

Topia...All We Need is U is a multi-channel video installation with audio highlighting the relationship between the current landscape and programming available on Governors Island, and future made possible by a recent rezoning of parts of the Island. Viewers will receive a printed map of the island that uses text and visual markers to further illustrate the changes that will likely be coming to Governors Island. The work emphasizes the extent to which perceived value and speculative real estate has and will continue to shape the Island’s landscape.

WoWhaus Resident artists’ and Tending the Edge artists’ projects call attention to marginalized ecological community members, and to water’s cycles of time and being.
