The new video short by artist Aaron Asis invites viewers to think about the significance of forgotten historical landmarks like Fort Totten in shaping urban experiences.
Originally designed under Captain Robert E. Lee, Fort Totten was meant to protect New York Harbor but was rendered obsolete before completion, leaving an unfinished legacy.
The fort, once a military hospital, has been repurposed by the D.O.D. and is now part of Fort Totten Park, linking history with future urban development.
As part of the Open House New York Weekend, visitors can explore the unique, abandoned tunnels and structures of the Water Battery at Fort Totten.
