Content:
Auckland City's identity is defined by its physicality as well as the events experienced, memories of and stories told within it. Undeniably surrounded by water, it is marketed as the City of Sails. I am therefore fascinated by how Auckland can be mapped and diagrammed in terms of the stories and memories regarding its watery nature. The focus is not on the actual locating of bodies of water of varying types, rather, I am concerned with deciphering and expressing the ephemeral.There is a certain value associated with a memory. Identities of places are established upon collective memories and stories.
out of the 50 must dos in Auckland 31 had images of water associated with it
Methodology
This largely depends on the types of water stories I pursue. Possibilities:
- myths and stories co-created by the colonialists and the native Maori
- memories of current inhabitants
- how Auckland is portrayed through the media via advertising, new items, marketing
- the value of water in Auckland through the real estate industry
This could involve a mixture of research through archives, questionnaires, rummaging through the media and consulting a real estate agent.
