Breaking Ground

Lensed through the rise of the oil industry in North Dakota, Breaking Ground is an immersive meditation on the tale of dreams sought and abandoned that wends its way through the American psyche and the physical landscape of the country itself.

Documentary artist Valery Lyman has been recording audio and taking photographs in the Bakken region of North Dakota over the course of four years. Join us in welcoming her as she presents this work to the public in multiple points of projection throughout the Great Engines Hall of the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum.

The Great Engines Hall is a cornerstone of Boston's development - it's towering pumps fed the city for over a century. This unique, historic space allows for a play with density, echo, and the ephemeral nature of industry.

Breaking Ground debuted at the Waterworks Museum last year. The response was so positive that the museum is remounting it for five nights this spring.
