“Floating Winona” is a project about The Latsch Island Boathouse Community on The Mississippi River in Winona, Minnesota, focused on the interaction of Landscape, Vernacular – Floating – Architecture and the Island Inhabitants. There are people who live in particular places, strange, difficult and apparently unlikely and unobserved, adopting creative solutions for local conditions and elements. The Latsch Island boathouse community is one of these places and the people of this green island live in floating houses, called “Boathouse.” I tried visually to capture specific moments of this unique reality and life-style that is an example of American Freedom and Dreams.
