This is a site – specific installation at Governor’s Island, where two antique chandeliers found in the Nolan Park are rewired to illuminate the gallery using potatoes as a power source. Both futuristic and simple, the revival of the former elegant chandeliers through vegetal power suggests a compromised power grid, and the lengths we go to maintain a level of high consumerism rather than degrowth. The installation will follow the arc of the potato’s life cycle, and will be illuminated at listed times.
