Water Rerouting Initiatives by Adam Frelin

Water Rerouting Initiatives (WRI's) are an ongoing series of projects in which the natural course of water is willfully redirected. Using graffiti art as its predecessor, WRI's are created in and for marginal public spaces. Overflowing drinking fountains, broken sprinklers, and additional plumbing lines in parks, motels, and public restrooms attempt to alter these locations by demanding that the spaces now perform what appear to be unnecessary operations. Though somewhat subversive, the end result of these endeavors is to be both regenerative and revitalizing by recreating the intended purpose of a particular public place.
