In the event of Amnesia the city will recall

Denis Beaubois &

In the event of Amnesia the city will recall… explores the relationship between the individual and the metropolis. These works are not structured events for a traditional audience, they are questions proposed to the site. The city as audience, collaborator and performer is emphasized in this piece. Twelve sites were selected around the city of Sydney where surveillance cameras are prominently placed. The locations were mapped out and the stage for In the event of Amnesia… was created.
