This piece was apart of the performance component to counter mapping. Unfortunately we weren't able to see the performance component but the curator invited myself and a friend to see and experience the final part. This was when the audience could walk amongst the map of vancouver that had been created through a performance that involved placing found objects (bricks, glasses, twigs, gumball machines etc.) and candle tea lights on the floor to create a map of vancouver. Lovely stuff in the "Black Box" theatre at the Roundhouse in Vancouver. Reminded me of the feel of approaching the city by air on a clear night - was really a beautiful peice of ancouver storytelling - I heard the performance was set to both archival and contemporary sounds of the city.
