I Mightn’t Be Here Tomorrow

I Mightn’t Be Here Tomorrow – Custom House, Westport, County Mayo, Ireland

During May 2003, I spent a month in the town of Westport, County Mayo on the west coast of Ireland. During that time I developed an eavesdropping project. The bits of conversation that were overheard were transferred to tiny scrolls that were then reinserted into public spaces in the town. One main location that I utilized was a mile long stone wall that ran from one end of the town to the other.

For the final exhibition, I transferred the eavesdropped texts onto long strips.
