"What I would propose in place of these concepts of construction is a return to the notion of matter, not as a site or surface, but as a process of materialization that stabilizes over time to produce the effect of boundary, fixity, and surface we call matter." Judith Butler (1993) Bodies that Matter

(image 1) The beginning of my experimentation with using a scanner and my passport as mediums. I first scanned my passports individually by was interested in juxtaposing both of them using my hand gestures to communicate their relationship (between each other, between me and each of them, and between me and both of them).

(image 5) The connected letter size printed scans are laid out in a specific sequential arrangement with the open passport scans draping on the surface of the table. This allows the viewers to look at them downward more closely while viewing the remaining scans at eye level on the wall.

(image 7) The arrangement of all the printed scans guides the viewers through the layout to display the changing and multi-directional relationship between identity, official identification, verification and stored memories.

Dolly is a portable miniature gold course that doubles as a functional dolly cart. To engage with Dolly and play the game, one must donate goods to a cause that goes against our current government’s agenda; i.e. non-perishable food to Puerto Rico’s relief efforts or clothing for a women’s shelter. After collecting these items, Dolly will embark on a pilgrimage to deliver donations to their respective collection sites

Interested participants can follow Dolly on Twitter, @dolly_cart, to keep up to date with her whereavouts and the causes she is advo-carting for.
