I found it interesting to take a closer look at Liz Hickok’s project “Fugitive Geography: Jelly NYC,” which was featured in Harmon’s You Are Here: NYC. On her website, she describes her process and intent, and includes photographs of the installation. The photographs give the project a different sense of scale compared to the human body, and begin to represent how you would see and interact with a map made out of Jell-O.

“Working with Jell-O and other gelatinous materials enabled me to play the role of architect and reimagine New York City. The material took unexpected turns as it bent, glistened and melted, revealing the hidden fragility of the familiar city grid. The buildings in Jelly NYC assume a human quality as they lean on one another for support.”
