information
Exterior Monologue is a video projection installation, reflecting on both built landscape sites and non-sites to explore how daily use, sensory experience and embedded memories continually build place beyond initial design intent.

Drawing on the motifs of the YouTube POV live streaming or ‘walking videos,’ participants were invited to make a video or audio piece focused on a landscape/exterior place of their choice. The responses range from ambient and meditative to dynamic and active and offer a perception of place through the eye, words, and movements of another. 

The resulting collage of contributions create a partial map, spanning seasons and time zones, layering the spatial and social dynamics of space to communicate the making of place through everyday use and subjective experience.

Exterior Monologue is curated by Olivia O’Donnell and Virginia Overell
