Governor’s Island provides intimate spaces within its openness. One can lay back on the rolling hills of grass, stare up at the sky, and forget they are in a big city. Eav’ning Light brings that expansiveness into a faux-crawl space that viewers are invited to climb in to. Instead of a dark space, the crawl-space (created by emulating the diagonal eaves on the top floors of the historical houses along Colonels Row) is filled with soft light and a warm soundscape.
Eav'ning Light becomes a metaphor, like the island itself, an expansive crawl space with room to breath and simultaneous escape. This is a site-responsive environment by Natalia Zubko with sound art by Beau Kenyon, created specifically for Governor's Island.Truncate
