  • Parallel Projections

    Article thumbnail: Parallel Projections
    Type:
    Article
    Description/Abstract:
    Parallel Projections investigates two types of postindustrial site: the architectural and the agricultural; it conflates (projections of and into) spaces as means of making visceral our intellectual comprehension of the relationships between materiality, surface, place and history. Parallel Projections is not meant for specific places but for specific kinds of spaces: defunct industrial buildings, abandoned urban edifices, and mechanized natural landscapes. The authors, living in places (Iowa and Ohio) that have both been radically altered by scalar economic shifts, adapt alien (guest) project components to their native (host) contexts. Both types of spaces, host and guest, as spaces of urban and rural abandonment, share surfaces that are compelling palimpsests. These surfaces are encrusted with nearly-obliterated histories, emptied by changes in production methods and habits of occupation and revealed by ghost texts. In opposition to the idea that these sites should be whitewashed and redrawn, the authors see them as grounds for new layers that can receive projections of phenomena from other postindustrial sites and as repositories for material evidence that deepens, rather than erases, the evidence of their pasts.
