Description
The Box holds over 20,000 objects related to Devonport. In TRACES, we explore the idea of an archive as a form of ‘collective memory’, helping to transfer information and sustain memories for future generations.
In TRACES we explore everyday ‘moments’, or snapshots of experiences, which are often the only record of any activity taking place. Most daily experiences in Devonport have no record, but can we (or should we) collect ‘everything’? In this sense, archives are never ‘complete’.
