MAPPING, 2001
(4 hour performance)
This work is about a sense of place -how it can never be entirely fixed, but how none the less our presence accumulates in a place and leaves its mark.
To illustrate this, a map of the Chicago region is projected onto the length of a gallery interior. Each visitor to the space is asked to stand still whilst Sara marks their shadow onto the map with map tacks, and traces their silhouette in red thread.
