78s In The Background

1 sound

A survey of the background of a rather blurry early childhood photo - where my dad identifies titles of his father's 78RPM records.

AE Slide Scan Memory Walk

AE Slide Scan Memory Walk

How are our earliest memories constructed and what role do images play in developing a sense of our early past? This sound-walk through Queens’ Alley Pond Park emerged out of a conversation with my father that a occurred in response to newly viewing a box of his grandparents’ slides that I recently found and scanned. Made up largely of early images of my father that he had not seen for at least fifty years, if at all, this walk documents the process of seeing the images anew - and proves an interesting site of audiovisual exploration - drawing connections and distinctions between place, family memory, image, archive, and interpretation.
