Decommissioning #1 Installation / Pareid

An abandoned zipline structure was located atop a hill in the small Spanish village of Libran. Three large vertical structures, each made of two beams, were erected some years ago and after minimal activity remained there, above the landscape in silence. A desire to revitalize the region has begun taking form in various ways, one of which was the commissioning of a large public swing to both overlook the town and serve as a new icon, to be located on the same grounds as the ziplines. The commissioning of something new necessitated the decommissioning of something old; this observation served as the basis for the project.
