Breathing Machine
REVERTING NYC’S COLONIAL AND IMPERIAL PRACTICES THROUGH A LARGE-SCALE ORGANIC WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN CENTRAL PARK.
Breathing Machine is a provocative utopian project that exposes trans scalar and hidden realities, footprints of colonialism, and historical injustices to propose a systematic management of a current reality under the logic of reparation and staying with the problem. The project highlights extended and concealed connections –as rivers– with multiple places and actors that were the core for proposing an in-motion system that could generate awareness and thinking of current and increasing problems in the city and its history.
