Participants can visit me on the street, in the studio, or I can go out in the field to visit participants. In Belgrade, for instance, I visited a high school and a youth center, interviewing and photographing on location. Photographic images of the objects and the participants, video footage and some donated objects make up a final presentation. Postcards of the participants and their objects, and their stories, have been produced and disseminated, representing a place with its real residents and visitors. The participants and public are encouraged to bear witness to the work we create together.

The Immortalization Project will continue indefinitely, and its results shown periodically at galleries, with documentation from the previous Immortalization Project(s) also being shown each time, so that a sociological/anthropological analysis can be made by viewers and Project participants.

Each city and region has its own unique pattern(s), character(s), history(ies), and/or personalities evident not only in the objects offered for Immortalization, but also those absent. There are many stories to tell, both profound and quotidian. My goal is to create an environment, for people in any given place, that will enable them to tell stories through their personal objects, and the opportunity to interact with the piece and the artist. I hope to create an interest for personal and cross-cultural understanding through the expression of nostalgia and the public presentation of these stories and images. I hope to enable people to feel empowered, moved, challenged and enlightened by having a voice and by participating in an art project.
