Ghost Parking Lot
Ghost Parking Lot was a 1978 site-specific public artwork by the New York–based architecture and environmental art group SITE, installed at the Hamden Plaza shopping center in Hamden, Connecticut, United States. The work consisted of twenty decommissioned automobiles arranged as if parked and then coated with layers of asphalt, creating the appearance of vehicles emerging from—or sinking into—the pavement. It stood along Dixwell Avenue until its demolition in 2003 after years of weathering and deferred maintenance.
