Exploring the Relationship Between Documentation and Experience
France, Hong Kong, Tanzania, Poland
How does the act of documentation enhance or inhibit the very experience one seeks to preserve? This year I will travel to four countries to investigate the tension and connection between documenting and experiencing. Cultivating projects in each country, I will create a range of documents - photographs, videos, journals and audio recordings -- to mediate the issue myself.
