Snow Piles: Step Sixteen:Snow Piles

Dear Future Archivist

In order to help with the archival of this performance event, I went back to the sites where I collected snow and took photos. These photo's can be used in a number of different ways. First Option: They can be used as a reference to re-create the performance event. The snow piles would be created in the exact same locations and positions as shown in each photograph. I have numbered them in order of how I collected the snow. I have also given an alternative options if there is not snow in the area when the performance is to be re-constructed. In this option the archivist can purchase stuffing from a fabric store to re-create a snow-like sculpture. These sculptures should be placed in the same location and position as in the photos. The sculptures will also need to have sand or pebbles placed on it, so they look like the ones in the photo's. Second Option: These photo's could be shown in a gallery space and presented as a collection to reference this event. I would like them to be shown on a computer with a row of small scale photo's next to a large image. The large image would be the image that has been clicked on in the row next to it. It could be presented using a Photoshop formate where the audience could click the row on the left hand side of the computer if they wanted to view another image. In the rest of the gallery space snow sculptures using stuffing and sand will be constructed. These snow piles will be created using the gallery walls and found objects to create a similar feel to the original photos. The audience would be able to compare the constructed sculptures from the performance and the real photos.
