"Port Lands" presents Toronto's industrial waterfront as a complex landscape in which past, present and future geographies transition and converge. Using archival aerial photographs, microscopic videography and data mapping, this work documents how aquatic life has persisted despite intense industrialization. Earlier phases of development transformed the Port Lands into a human-built space for economic activity without regard for negative impacts on the existing environment. Evidence of this disregard persists in new so-called "revitalization" plans in which the water, land and inhabitants are conceived not as a living ecosystem but as data points to be optimized in a high-tech urban landscape.

Indeed, the institution was powerless to thwart the series of fatal attacks perpetrated between 2000 and 2011 by the neo-Nazi group Nationalsozialistischer Untergrund (NSU, "National Socialist Underground"), sparking astonishment and an avalanche of criticism in Germany.
