Idea still being shaped
From Scrapbook to Road-Trip Video
What journey appears when maps, photographs, postcards, notes, and place research are arranged together?
Maps, photographs, postcards, notes, and place research can be arranged into a short narrated journey. The sequence keeps sourced history, memory, inference, and creative reconstruction visible as different kinds of material.
Why this idea may matter
