Traces of Wind and Water is a two-channel, site-specific, outdoor, video installation on existing architecture at The Strand Theatre in Dorchester, MA, created by Boston Boston AIR (Artist-in-Residence) artist Georgie Friedman. The installation will be on display on the side of the theater from October 13 - November 14, nightly, from dusk to 11 p.m.

This video installation is made up of three sections: one section visually replants large trees on the site, their swaying tops visible from the street below; another transforms the Strand into an architectural/natural waterfall with a constant flow; and in the third, wild grasses spring up and dance in the wind.  Learn more about the project.

This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts and is made possible through the Boston Artists in Residence Program of the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture in collaboration with the Department of Neighborhood Development and the Parks and Recreation Department. 

Additional support was generously provided by luminArtz of Boston, MA.
