Anciennement Mount Saint Vincent Academy
Description:
Il s'agit d'une série de huit marqueurs installés sur le campus. Les marqueurs présentent deux types de textes superposés sur des images photographiques en noir et blanc. Chaque marqueur comprend un extrait des publications officielles du Mount et une citation à partir d'une conversation avec des étudiants à l'Université ou des Sœurs de la Charité qui étaient autrefois des étudiantes ou des enseignantes à l'Académie.

I took the photographs of the locations (the Places) referred to in their anecdotes during 1997-98. The markers are installed in relation to these same locations (for example: beside a parking lot—formerly the site of the rhubarb patch; at the entrance to the campus near the train tracks along the shore—the former sea-bathing spot, etc.) In this way, the institutional voice intersects with the first-person memories, and both of these intersect with images of the locations—which, of course, will continue to change and offer a visual comparison to what is (and will be) there.
