Ideas for Studio Exploration

I have two sites in mind for this project: the 1969 Woodstock site and the private lake near my home. I spent a lot of time at both of these public sites when I was growing up and they have both since become private land. The Woodstock site, which was once a symbol for peace, is now a symbol of capitalism and greed. The owners of the land want nothing to do with the original festival except what they can exploit for profit. Similarly, the lake in the hamlet in which I live was also once a public site which has become private for reasons of greed. Unless I give up a lot of money, I am no longer welcome at either site.
