About This Book
Remembering Place is a visual inquiry into the death of a childhood home. Set within the context of urban development, abandonment and globalization, the author wanders and wonders in conversation with personal and collective memories and maps, poetic text, archival images, and municipal documents and weaves them together to make visible the complex relationship between self and place in a rapidly urbanizing world.
