In Memory Of...

In Memory Of... was a public art installation in Providence, RI, which used the vernacular style of the instant memorial to create awareness and curiosity about memory. Three non-secular memorials were placed in different areas of the city and provided pencils, paper, and a place to leave/make a memory. The memorials were meant to provoke thought about what it is to memorialize and the goal was for the viewer/participant to remember. Memories were recorded, archived and returned to the boxes, which eventually disappeared from their respective sites. The physical memorial fades as memory does. (Photos by Taylor Stapleton)
