The Manhattan-based City Meditation Crew is a fictitious city department whose workers make silent gestures in “public” spaces to inspire passers-by to pay attention to their surroundings, both physical and cultural, one moment at a time. Clad in white coveralls emblazoned with the orange “slow moving vehicle” triangle, CMC workers are recognizable as they complete mundane tasks a little more contemplatively than usual, breathing new possibilities into their performance and interpretation. CMC members remain nameless to emphasize collective actions over individual identities.

CMC contemplates a toxic waste retaining wall at Wykoff Superfund Site on Bainbridge Island.
The site is known to locals as the second most toxic waste dump in the state of Washington. It exists approximately one half mile from the site where Japanese-Americans were boarded onto Ferries that would take them toward internment camps during WWII.
