Benincasa explores a lost, 20th century tribe who shaped their<br />

locale through sweat + labour in iconic industrial sites. Cities<br />

that formed around these mammoth worksites now struggle to<br />

repurpose themselves. If memories reconstruct our past, then examining<br />

these demolished sites provides a rich reflective lens.<br />

Whether the land itself holds memory or there is residual energy<br />

from those who were here before us – her creative expression<br />

hones in on collective memory frozen in time. <strong>Art</strong> is a timeless<br />

lens to see where future meets the past in the form of these magnificent<br />

worksites. What is absent is not forgotten.<br />
