- Activities:
- Thinking about geography, journey and passage in relation to memory. How am I tracking my own passage in this place, right here, right now, and in what ways does it intersect with my ancestor’s passage(s)?
- Taking photographs of photographs: trying to select which photographs from the photo diary I’ll set up and re-create, and considering if that’s even possible.
- Listening to yesterday’s recordings in the dam at Lake Guy, in which I read sections of the photo diary encased in the beautifully reverberating concrete spaces.
