PS415 at Site:Lab
Project Story 415 Franklin is an interactive installation that uses storytelling to connect with people, understand needs and create a dialogue. Inspired by the building, 415 Franklin, this installation told the story of its roots as the Grand Rapids Christian High School to the Department of Health Services, to its current evolution into a church. The videos featured members who engaged with the building in all three of its incarnations. The photographers told stories of the surrounding and its community from the past, present to the future. The interactive community table invited viewers to share their own hopes and dreams for the future of the building.
