These photos are from the box distributions and projection nights. I felt a little sneaky taking photos of people from my car so when it became clear that the people lurking around had a map with them, i went to talk to them.
It seems funny to me now that i never really considered this aspect of my work, that i would in fact become another medium through which the work is understood.
Most of the people that came were enthusiastic, few were disappointed and upset...they hadn't in fact won a trip.
Talking with the people that showed up (all males) was fascinating, as their expectations and my intentions were so very different.
Some proclaimed they 'got it' while others were more content to just stand back. Either way, everyone was polite and seemed to be happy to participate.
The stories about how the boxes were found were great. One man said that the box fell from the sky right beside him (actually fell out of a tree!)
One guy said he wanted to open the treasure chest with the key...i told him he was welcome to try!
