Shifting Borders

Overview

How do distinguished spaces come to be? How do these borders impact human relationships with land? This project explores the creation and decimation of boundaries between the built and natural environments at the decommissioned Manresa power plant in Norwalk, Connecticut. With each element encroaching on the other, there exists a continuous battle for autonomy. In the format of experimental ethnographic video work, visuals of shifting boundaries seek to evoke this complex relationship. Excerpts from interviews with community members situate the power plant within its affected surroundings. With the horizons warming, how might these powers continue to shape each other?
