- Summary:
-
Memorandum is a book that uses photography, oral history and collection material to recount stories. It is a project about things that were remembered, photographs that were carefully stored and conversations that must never be forgotten. The project began when the artist attended a senior centre every Friday in Brisbane for a few months, where she photographed and recorded life stories. She was also entrusted with her subjects' photographic archives, which she scanned, and supplemented with photographs from the State Library of Queensland's collection to further illustrate their stories. Her book is organised into seven chapters separated by blue pages and a title. Each chapter consists of a series of vertical format colour portraits of the participants on the right hand pages, with old photographs on the left. An appendix contains entirely text; there, the life stories of the characters are printed, along with the caption details of each photograph that appears in the book.-Based on information on the artist's website and blog posts.
