Harrison Studio, "Peninsula Europe I," 2000-2003
The Harrison Studio's proposed solutions for invigorating watersheds and renewing urban and rural environments take the form of large-scale installations of cartographic imagery, poetic texts, collaged photographs and video, which offer deconstructivist or fragmented narratives, that entail shifting metaphors. One aspect that differentiates the approach of the Harrison Studio (formed in 1993 to include architectural designers Gabriel Harrison and Vera Westergaard) from those of other eco-artists is that they examine several conditions, including cultural, economic, and ecological concerns, ranging in scale from a museum installation to a peninsula, such as Peninsula Europe.
