Disposable Memory Project

Say Cheese!

This is me.

My work. My play. 7 years. 4 days. 20%+

NFP OR Non Commercial OR Fun.

TheVisualDictionary.net

We take one of these.

Put a few instructions on it..

And then leave it somewhere

We’ve done it 170 times

In almost 45 countries

People find the cameras

“I found the camera in London at the King's Cross railway station on the Harry-Potter-platform 9 +3/4”

“One of the other artists in the show, Mike Gibson, had seen one of the bags saying "Please pick me up" and had brought the camera to the gallery.”

Take a few photos...

...Then pass the camera on again

Until the film is finished...

Then we develop and share.

Digital Photography is HUGE There were 6,174 uploads in the last minute. See more?

Instant Gratification is.. instant

Slowing things down

Inspiration comes in many forms.

Start Locally

Spread thru Personal Network

“I think I would like to do one for Boston, and also one for New York. Can you sort me out with some info? I have disposable camera, and ziplock bags already.”

First non-UK drop.

And first to be found

First USA drop. First Stranger!

“Wherever it is, just promise me that if you get a camera full of pictures of my ex-girlfriend in union with a Spanish coastguard you won’t tell me.”

“One of the children decided to start shining the light into my eyes from across the yard. So I played a along by dodging in and out of the pillars to hide and snapped the last couple of shots on the roll as I did so. The little girl’s parents had died in a houseﬁre two weeks before but she was so full of life you couldn’t help liking her.”

“that cam was like a sign to say ‘you’re not alone, that will be the present for your birthday’..”

Sometimes it doesn’t work

Why do people get involved?

A sense of community

Mystery; The Unknown

Find & Drop.

Success of a camera

Curation, Not Creation

Local Representatives

How much does it cost?

The more, the merrier

Ownership is overrated.

If you love it, set it free.

Whuff.
