Robin Frohardt: Shopping Center Parking Lot

Step into the mind-bending world of Robin Frohardt's Shopping Center Parking Lot, a live-cinema spectacle that turns a mundane Home Depot parking lot into a profound ecosystem of wonder!

For 15 years, visionary artist Robin Frohardt—creator of the hit Plastic Bag Store and 2024 Herb Alpert Award winner—stared out her window at this asphalt expanse, sparking reflections on lost community, identity, and our bond with nature amid big-box sprawl.

• Watch hand-crafted cardboard sets and puppets come alive through live cameras, blending puppetry, cinematic projections, prose, and live music.
• Discover the poetry in everyday chaos: tree roots cracking pavement, birds mistaking lights for water, questioning if parking lots are just nature's latest evolution—from ancient cells to 3,400 Home Depots!
• Playful yet deep, it reimagines overlooked spaces as vibrant metaphors for modern life.
