Abstract
There are more things I have forgotten than I care to remember, yet, I go looking for them. My
work uses light, sound, cardboard boxes and ghosts to help me remember. It is an exploration of
memory and daydreaming whilst wandering around the urban-scape of Wellington. Memory has a
disruptive influence on the architecture and spaces we occupy. Using Mark Fisher’s lost futures
version of Hauntology I investigate how my memories have been tied up in a particular part of the
city. I use ghosting as my framework to look through windows, peer into the past and imagine the
future that never was. My mobile phone has become a note taking device as I go “ghosting those
same streets”.
