How We Measure What We Lost is a single-channel video, a site-specific video installation and a series of photographs.
How We Measure What We Lost was filmed in the catacombs of Fort Warren on Georges Island in the Boston Harbor—a fort that was obsolete before it was finished on a island destined to be lost to the rising sea level. This video features a sinking island fabricated out of a retired military parachute and 100 construction laser levels.
