Revival Ramp<\/em> is based on a drawing Chin created while installing eco-related artworks in Munich, Germany. The image traces possible courses of ecology on a spiraling \u201cramp\u201d of time: starting with Leonardo Da Vinci\u2019s A Copse of Trees (c. 1500), ascending through the industrial revolution, and trifurcating into three futures. The history of a hyperaccumulator plant is ever present, from it\u2019s naturally occurring place to its use to detoxify polluted land. At a critical bend in the ramp, in contemporary time, Revival Field<\/em><\/a> is sited. Afterwards the scenarios of a better, greener world \u201creviving\u201d the trees of Leonardo, or of an alternate path moving to an industrial wasteland or an unknown bleak future with a black sun, are projected. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
