Stories from Noord

On residency at Mediamatic, Amsterdam

2010

Amsterdam Noord is a city of bicycles, but I spend most of my time here walking. I walk to get to know the city, and as I walk I collect the traces

of the lives that are going on around me…the traces of memories, of conversations, of relationships. I collect the detritus on the streets for

the same reason that I observe people’s conversations, and ask them questions about their lives: to collect and preserve the memories of a

place that I don’t belong to.
