Careful Infrastructures for Reassembled Lands (No.4)
Lisa Hirmer
2022, Cut steel sign on custom support
One of four signs on the waterfront, a text based installation running along the water’s edge, a speculative infrastructure suggesting how we might live in relationship to this place, its other non-human inhabitants, and each other.

Artist Bio
Lisa Hirmer is an interdisciplinary artist working in visual media, especially photography; social practice; performance; and occasionally writing. Her work is focussed on collective relationships—that which exists between things rather than simply within them—both in human communities and in human relationships with the more-than-human world. Much of her recent work wrestles with what it means to be living inside the climate emergency, on the edge of planetary collapse.
She is the Waterfront Artist in Residence for 2022.
This artwork was created through the Waterfront Artist Residency, supported by the Waterfront BIA and Waterfront Toronto.
