history of these specific
abandoned warehouses located
in Cleveland, OH. Inner

which were the main characters
of the installation. The
entire process prior to
building the 8’ structure was
documented, including the
community that helped to make
it happen. The series of
books were placed inside the
installation for the audience

book was created to show the
