Freya Powell\u2019s Active Turn\u00a0creates an intimate and illusionist landscape along the park\u2019s waterfront. Looking into Powell\u2019s steel zoetrope reveals a transition from representations of the existing cityscape to images of the ocean\u2019s open horizon. A zoetrope is a 19th Century optical device that creates the illusion of motion by spinning a progressive set of still images. For the artist, the horizon is a symbol not only of the limits of our knowledge, but also the potential of our imagination to understand beyond sensory experience. The animation of Active Turn\u00a0is\u00a0subtle, initially echoing the skyline behind it; the images will provide a transportive opportunity to glimpse an open skyline while contemplating the unfamiliar.<\/p>\n
