My project, the, “Memorial to Lived Experience” is a conceptual twist on the brief, commemorating lived experience through the performative past of the city. With reference to post-war reactionary artist Jackson Pollock, the ritual events of the city are considered as more important than the formal spaces in which they occur. These events materialise as detritus; as remnants from each event. A winding ramp circulates people down the levels of event spaces for consumption, acquiring knowledge, meeting and administration, and leisure. A single throw away object is taken from each event; a spoon, spectacles, a microphone cable, scissors and flute head piece respectively are sealed in resin boxes. These objects are carried down the ramp to be stacked and archived at the chasm’s faultline.
