BABEL is site-specific two-part installation that crosses the threshold between the exhibition and abandoned spaces of the Gare Saint Sauveur: a former railway station in the northern French city of Lille. The work is based on the mythical Tower of Babel stories, the Salon de Paris, themes of mysticism and transformation, and the history of the site itself. Materials were found throughout the Gare grounds and adjacent buildings, as well as the Braderie de Lille - the 800 year-old, largest street market in Europe - and combined with materials sent from Detroit. Using artifacts from Detroit and Lille, I attempted to transform the spaces into a future-past wunderkammer, exploring ideas of time, language, mythology, alchemy, and perception. Created as part of the Detroit portion of the Lille 3000: Renaissance triennial festival, the work was displayed from Sept 2015 - 2017
