The Bush Garden Lightbox was conceived as a truly immersive experience. Against the intense skyline of Brooklyn, Halfslant used three key found materials - an old spinnaker sail, three dozen animal x-rays and six spools of hot pink shoelace thread - to reimagine the roof top.

The installation encouraged and forced viewers to look up, out and through the space. X-rays, in motion with the winds, interacted with Brooklyn and the environment. The intense elemental nature of a roof top installation added an additional layer, where sunset, violent winds and downpours all drastically altered the aesthetic.
