This geoglyph is located at an empty lot in Long Island City Queens and points to the direction of the rising and setting sun on the summer solstice. The property is owned by real estate developers Criterion Group LLC which owns properties across the USA in 11 different states. I made my way on to the lot and carved the concrete foundation using an angle grinder overthe course of several days.
I'm thinking about future of humanity, the resiliency of humans, and our inherent connection to the sun and earth. I often think of the past, present, and future of a site within the context of capitalist fueled climate catastrophe.
Drone documentation was made possible by Max Hull.
