in relation to the John Smith video I posted I really enjoyed this proposal for a Museum of The False.

I liked the idea that a depiction of something is a fiction we use to understand the world. She writes

“fabrication, falsification, and decontextualisation have constructive potential”

It made me think that when I collect material for a narrative on East London I would like to concentrate on capturing temporary moments. Not necessarily the kind of quick fleeting moments John Smith captures but the semi-permanent sites, objects and occurrences.
