observations from the side of the road

zeina baltagi & kirk pickler

The side of the road is full of things, spaces and spots that are seldom paid attention to. Driving is usually done with the intention of getting from one place to the next quickly, without listening or seeing  most of what you’re passing by. Hidden on the road’s edge are: objects, sounds, life forms, the process marks of violent infrastructure, and the detritus of past events and times. This work is a collection of media consisting of improvised sound compositions, audio/video recordings and photos that were coaxed from pinned locations along the Rim of the World Highway. We invite you to follow, listen and play along. These are our observations.
