About the Book
Baseball Fields
Parking Lots
Port Terminals
Rail Yards
Bridges
Off-Ramps
Overpasses
As a result of the pandemic I find myself in search of open spaces that lack a public component, like the ones listed above. Any sign of covid-19 becomes less legible at this scale, allowing one to briefly escape to a reality that isn’t stalked by pandemic related spatial awareness. These types of spaces are easiest to spot at night because they share a need for industrial lighting. Like a point cloud, their array of lights mirror the footprint of the ground below. At first glance these light posts appear out of scale, reading as lonely figures divorced from the ground below. But this realm belongs to baseball backstops, salt piles, quay cranes, signal gantries, construction stock piles, shipping containers, and retired navy vessels. In this non-anthropocentric landscape it is the human figure that is out of scale.
