The installation considers several lines of tension embedded on the site, human and nonhuman. It acknowledges the farm as a geographical site of damage and repair of land and indigenous ecosystems, and the life it appropriated in the form of enslaved labour.

The proposed installation takes advantage of a moment of public presence to draw attention to histories often overlooked or forgotten. It brings to light the complex political relations that existed and which are still scripted in the ground, and invites the visitor to playfully engage, extracting a plurality of perspectives, both figuratively and literally.

Audiences are meant to enter into a landscape reimagined, where they may engage between the tensions, either being in light or in shadow. This playful and interactive relationship encourages both deep reflection and playfulness. The intervention is conceptualised as a landscape to inhabit, rather than an object to spectate, forming part of a generous spatial gesture on the layered site.
