Set between modern office towers and historic facades, the installation turned the urban corridor into a festive promenade of color and motion. The glow from the wheel’s LEDs reflects off rain-dampened pavement and glass storefronts, capturing a rare moment when the city’s business district became an after-dark fairground alive with light, visitors, and late-spring energy.

March 2019 — The Schubert Club Bandshell on Raspberry Island, illuminated along the Mississippi River in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Completed in 2002, the modern arched performance structure serves as an outdoor music venue with views toward the historic Wabasha Street Bridge, visible in the background. The bridge, originally built in 1859 and reconstructed in 1998, is known as the only true vertical align arch bridge over the Mississippi. Its decorative architectural lighting reflects across the water alongside the flooded riverbank, highlighting how the river’s seasonal water levels shape the island landscape. Raspberry Island has long served as a gathering space and riverfront access point, evolving from a railroad landing to a cultural park and performance venue.
March 2019 — Illuminated office and residential towers rise over downtown Minneapolis after dark, their façade lighting and interior floors forming a dense urban grid against a winter sky. The blue-accented crowns and vertical light bands highlight the city’s mix of late-20th-century corporate towers and newer high-rise residential development that has reshaped the downtown core since the 2000s. In the foreground, a still water feature mirrors the skyline, emphasizing the geometry and lighting strategies used to distinguish individual buildings within a tightly packed central business district. This area reflects Minneapolis’s broader downtown reinvestment, where office, residential, and public infrastructure coexist within a walkable, transit-served core.

Glass walls were added after multiple suicides.

September 2017 — A decommissioned SNCB/NMBS Autorail Série 400, unit no. 4001, rests abandoned on a disused siding near Charleroi, Belgium. Built in the early 1950s by BN (La Brugeoise et Nivelles), these diesel multiple units were among Belgium’s first post-war efforts to modernize regional and intercity rail travel, replacing steam on secondary lines. The streamlined design and two-tone red-and-cream livery reflected the optimism of that era’s industrial renewal. Decades later, this car’s faded paint, shattered windows, and rust-etched steel now mark the slow decay of a machine that once represented progress in Belgian transport history. The surrounding derelict depot underscores the decline of Wallonia’s railway manufacturing heritage.
September 2017 — A 118-meter-tall cooling tower stands amid overgrown trees at the former Monceau-sur-Sambre power station near Charleroi, Belgium. Constructed in the 1960s as part of a large coal-fired generating complex operated by Electrabel, the hyperboloid structure was engineered from reinforced concrete with vertical ribbing to support its weight and withstand wind pressure. The tower once cooled thousands of cubic meters of water per hour, discharging excess heat from the station’s turbines that supplied electricity to the industrial Walloon region. Following the plant’s closure in the early 2000s, the site has remained disused, its monumental scale and weathered surface now emblematic of Charleroi’s industrial decline and gradual environmental recovery.
September 2017 — Dense vegetation surrounds the concrete base of a decommissioned cooling tower in Charleroi, Belgium. The structure’s massive form rises from a patch of overgrowth and debris, where nature has begun reclaiming the once-industrial site. The cooling tower, part of an abandoned power plant complex, remains a reminder of the region’s post-industrial landscape and transition away from coal-era energy infrastructure.

September 2017 — The Cedar Lake Trail passes through the industrial district of St. Louis Park, Minnesota, illuminated here by the community’s water tower and nearby grain elevators. This segment of the trail follows a former railroad right-of-way once used by the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway, which connected local industries to the region’s freight network. The corridor’s transformation into one of the country’s first bicycle “freeways” in the 1990s marked a major milestone in urban redevelopment and sustainable transportation planning. Once lined with lumberyards, steel fabricators, and mills, the area surrounding the trail reflects the industrial origins of St. Louis Park—a community that grew rapidly in the early 20th century due to its proximity to both Minneapolis and key rail junctions. The trail today bridges that history, offering cyclists and commuters a route through a landscape where freight trains, utility towers, and legacy industry remain active reminders of the city’s manufacturing past.

July 2017 — The rocky shoreline at Taconite Harbor, Minnesota, once served as a vital shipping point for the state’s iron mining industry. Built in the early 1950s by the Erie Mining Company, the harbor was designed to handle massive shipments of processed taconite pellets from the Mesabi Iron Range, transported by a private 74-mile rail line to the Lake Superior coast. The harbor’s docks, loading equipment, and nearby company housing formed a self-contained industrial community that thrived for decades. The surrounding area was developed during a period of postwar expansion when Minnesota’s natural resources fueled North American manufacturing. Taconite Harbor operated until the early 2000s, when global shifts in steel production led to its closure. What remains today—crumbling concrete piers, rusted transmission towers, and wind-swept rock formations—speaks to both the resilience of the landscape and the region’s deep connection to the rise and fall of heavy industry along the North Shore.

July 2017 — Evening settles over the North Shore as the moon rises above Lake Superior, seen from Silver Creek Township, Minnesota. The calm waters reflect the fading light of dusk along a rugged basalt shoreline shaped by ancient lava flows nearly a billion years old. This stretch of coast, north of Two Harbors, remains one of the most geologically significant and least developed sections of Minnesota’s Superior shoreline—where forests of spruce and pine meet one of the world’s largest freshwater lakes under an endless sky.
July 2017 — The Theodore Hamm's Brewing Company was an American brewing company established in 1865 in St. Paul, Minnesota.

May 2017 — Built in the late 19th century, this rail tunnel sits near Bridal Veil Creek between Minneapolis and St. Paul and was constructed to accommodate expanding freight and passenger service for the Great Northern and Northern Pacific rail systems. Its heavy stone block walls and reinforced concrete beams reflect early railroad engineering adapted to the region’s steep ravines and waterways. The tunnel once served as a vital connector between Minneapolis rail yards and the Midway district, supporting grain, timber, and industrial shipments. Though still active today, it carries far lighter traffic and has become known for its weathered masonry, natural overgrowth, and layers of graffiti, showing where urban infrastructure meets forgotten industrial corridors.
May 2017 — Once part of the historic rail convergence near Westminster Junction in St. Paul, this corridor reflects the city’s long-standing role as a freight and passenger gateway for the Upper Midwest. The junction has served multiple carriers over the decades, supporting connections to Chicago, Minneapolis, and broader national rail networks. The single-track line in the foreground sits alongside a broader multi-track right-of-way, characteristic of the region’s use for heavy rail traffic, including grain, intermodal, and freight hauling. Dense summer vegetation lines the route, showing how rail corridors often double as preserved green space, even amid active infrastructure. The distant bridge marks the approach toward downtown St. Paul, where several major rail yards historically managed traffic between river, road, and rail transport.
