The Cola Road (2013)
I miss the smell of the fog and the little electric thrill of coming up that curve on 101-N when the city pops up like a pastel present in front of you.
This is so perfect
Ran across a 2008 project called Chang Chun Dong: Memory, Dialogue, Scape in which residents were asked to draw their individual maps and tell their specific memories of a particular neighborhood. The documentation-as-book includes both their maps (pixelatedly scanned) as well their photos and interviews. Onebluepenguin pointed out the boy who only plotted out four spots, including the corner store and his hagwon, as well as the girl who denoted her favorite restaurants. On the inside back cover is the quotation “I experience myself in the city, and the city exists through my embodied experience. The city and my body supplement and define each other. I dwell in the city and the city dwells in me.” (Juhani Pallasmaa, 2005)
