PROJECT ECOPOLIS
Ezra Wube’s PROJECT ECOPOLIS is a compilation of four short films commissioned by the High Line Network, with support from High Line Art. The work is the second Joint Art Initiative commission, a program that explores how Network members can leverage public art to inspire civic discourse and deepen connections among the communities surrounding Network projects.
Ezra Wube
Originally from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Ezra Wube has lived and worked in New York City for over 20 years. Using painting, collage, small sculptures, and paper cutouts, Wube narrates scenes of daily life from around the world, exploring our relationships to bustling metropolises and the natural world. He explores experiences of mobility, the malleability of time and place, and the dialogical tensions between "here" and "there.”
