The Stolen City - Home school's Workshop
Digital still
Revolving around a central motif of ‘re-imagining history and/or memory in order to re-imagine the future’, I design situations and write fictional narratives that expand the way we are able to talk about particular issues connected to place and memory.
I look for what the Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin refers to as chronotopes:
‘...physical intersections of space and time within a community that have become monuments directly connected to local folklore and moral tales.’
Whether natural or man-made, I use these chronotopes as the inspiration for writing new moral tales related to the modern world and its social consequences. The main aim of my practice is to use fiction as a space within which both individuals and communities can reassess the outside forces imposed upon us and how they shape the image we have of ourselves.
