This research explores the shared narrative. I am interested in the idea that from one story, individuals can choose what words interest them most and from these words another narrative can emerge.
Instructions
- Please take 10 minutes to read this short story, 29 lines long.
- Then go through the story a line at a time and highlight word on each line.
- Then from anywhere else in the text choose another word, so 30 words in all.
- Please email me back your highlighted version at [email protected].
Thank you for taking the time to help me. I will only use your first name in this process and if I develop the work to a point where I will be making public i.e. in exhibition, I will remove your name and all the texts will be anonymous.
Thanks again, Anne
