Collect My Junk
Angela Joosse, Aleksandra Kaminska, Shana MacDonald (2007)
Collect My Junk is a video sculpture presented over three garage spaces. This project examines the discarded objects that make up the city block and alleyways surrounding Trinity-Bellwoods Park. The video screens, which are collaged out of collected urban junk, project retrieved landscapes that ask the audience to contemplate how we can better know our city space by making reappear what so often has disappeared. The projections explore both the abandoned and the re-imagined stories of these lost/found objects and suggest that there is a complex conversation occurring between the separate but connected spaces of Dundas St, Queen West, Trinity-Bellwoods and the alleyways in between.
Collect My Junk was exhibited at 'AlleyJaunt: Local Art in Local Garages' in August 2007.
