I wanted to pay homage to my playground as a child, and when I went back to visit it had very much changed. This project is an audio cd embedded into a railroad tie. When the passerby pushes a button a short audio narrative plays for the viewer. The piece was found missing some months after it was installed.
I grew up in Fontana, and had a tree house wreck in the field next to my house... I have so many memories of exploring the fields of Fontana... I found your video haunting, and uncannily echoing my own childhood experiences there. Where exactly is this installation? I'll be visiting for Thanksgiving.
