HERITAGE ARCHITECTURE - Mapping subjective landmarks in the city of Shanghai / Roger

"During a period of three months, I interviewed a group of local people in Shanghai about personal points of reference in relation to the city and their memories. For each person, I created a series of metal plaques that depict their stories, memories, conflicts and desires with regard to the place where they live.

The engraved metal plaques have QR codes that can be scanned with a cell phone or any device, and link to a video hosted on the Internet where it is possible to watch parts of the interviews and specific scenes from the city related to each person and story. 16 plaques were placed in the city of Shanghai, bringing personal memories to public space."
