The Stained Bastions

A sepia-toned journey through abandoned industrial sites—from a graffiti-covered sawmill to Germany’s Völklingen Ironworks—set to reversed music, reflecting on decay and transformation.

A sepia-toned experience depicting a disoriented walk through abandoned industrial environments, set to a song played in reverse. This installation features a graffiti-painted sawmill on Highway 1, before moving to the Völklingen Ironworks Factory in Germany, towering monuments to the fleeting nature of construction. These buildings have transformed over time, from productive factories to ruins. This piece has been created so that people can watch and think about what these buildings once were and what they’ve now become.
