performance, 2006
"The Catalogue of the Lost (and other Revelations)" is a lecture performance comprised of 282 projected images, based on the 18 months I spent as the artist-in-residence of the Explorers Club in New York.
The narration focuses on the missing pieces of early exploration: lost places, people, photographs and geographic concepts–as well as the successes and failures to document "the unknown." Using images and objects from the Explorers Club’s collections, as well as historical anecdotes from early Arctic explorations, this work examines what is revealed through attempts to track down the missing pieces.
