Involved in an affair

22 June - 11 July

The work is a layered response to the Southern Cemetery (Dunedin) from the personal perspective of the artist and her own feeling of loss, overlaid with historical information that is lurking as submerged content in the imagery. It intends to pose questions about caring and responsibility and contributes towards the forging of a more complete national identity through the notion that the past is always with us. This installation sets up a virtual site of memory somewhere between the real world and the artists mind. The visitor to the gallery will be entering a dark space enlivened by points of light created by fiber-optic technology. The work asks whose responsibility it is to commemorate, as well as decide how that should be done.

Who has the duty of memory?
