Yesterday, the Harvest Dome, a floating installation of 500 broken umbrellas and empty soda bottles, made its way by barge from the Brooklyn Navy Yard to Inwood, Manhattan. The project, conceived by Amanda Schachter and Alexander Levi at SLO Architecture, is meant to “reveal New York City’s primeval ecologies.” The Dome’s base is made up of soda bottles, which will allow it to alternate between floating on water and resting on the mud-flat at the Inwood Hill Park inlet as the tide rises and falls.
You can read more about the sculpture and its background in our article from earlier this week. Also, check out our photos from yesterday’s launch below.
