The part of my brain that belongs to Cataloguing (yes, a very, very small corner) wonders whether one would consider this a single instance of a work, ephemera, a performance, a collection or several separate works (one for each session? Each output?).<\/p>\n

This is a 10 minute experience for festival-goers at the Margaret River Readers and Writers Festival<\/a> , an art installation,\u00a0 Amoment caravan<\/a> that has been travelling the country.<\/p>\n

Imagine if you will, a tiny wooden caravan, with a young masked woman in white outside it:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You sit on a wooden box and she fits you with a headset connected to an old white iPod. You listen as an 8 year old girl speculates about what her life will be like in 20 years. You think about it.<\/p>\n

Then, you take off your shoes. Climb into the caravan. Press play on the next track.<\/p>\n

Inside is white, with eclectic white objects (plastic spoons, lace, pill packets, spools) attached to the ceiling, a mattress with crocheted white rug on the floor. The walls are adorned with tiny typewritten notes, pinned with pearl-headed pins. They are notes to a future self.<\/p>\n

A small blue typewriter, with a container of tiny white pages is set up in front of you. Although you want to keep reading the notes, you take up the invitation to write your own note to yourself in 20 years and pin it to the wall.<\/p>\n

Outside, when you put your shoes back on … you eventually notice the tiny note tied with a tiny white ribbon. (You also discover later that your shoes have been photographed and added to the accompanying website<\/a> )<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And receive some wise words for today:<\/p>\n
