Inside an abandoned cooling tower. This particular one is from the Electrabel power plant, located in Monceau-sur-Sambre, Belgium. Built in 1921, it produced energy from coal and was once responsable for 10% of the entire country’s CO2 emissions.

The sculpture for Boston spans the void where an elevated highway once split downtown from its waterfront. Knitting together the urban fabric, it soars 600 feet through the air above street traffic and pedestrian park.

The form of “As If It Were Already Here” echoes the history of its location. The three voids recall the “Tri-Mountain” which was razed in the 18th-century to create land from the harbor. The colored banding is a nod to the six traffic lanes that once overwhelmed the neighborhood, before the Big Dig buried them and enabled the space to be reclaimed for urban pedestrian life.”

Geometric and surreal in nature, Ho’s images read as a transient memory lost in space. It’s difficult to detect, which parts of his images are real or overlapped. To create the dream-like, hazy effect, Ho layered and scanned various negative. He also used a little bit of Photoshop editing for the desired result.
