Our House In Queens

1 sound

A photo of my father's family's house in Queens that he identifies having no "direct memory" of, but which was one of the first in the slide box of him and his brother together.

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.
