Hole One (Ghost Hole)
2009, pavement decal, wood, plastic, 16 feet x 4 feet x 6 inches.

To create this miniature golf hole, the exact area of the vacant lot in Brooklyn where the hole would be built was photographed prior to any cleaning or building. Then the photographs were used to make an outdoor, high-traffic decal for the actual playing surface of the hole. A player could look down and see what was in the exact spot before building: trash, debris, rocks, etc.

This project was part of The Putting Lot, a nine-hole miniature-golf course in Brooklyn. Each hole was designed by a different team of artists and architects around themes of urban sustainability.
