Art 21 Episode video Clip
Natalia deals a lot with communicating stories through the medium of documentary. The stories she communicates are generally those that we may come across in every day life, centered around the people who are most common in our lives- a sibling , a grandmother, perhaps the woman who processes our check at the bank. Natalia examines their stories, their life, and makes it into what it always has been- something worth remembering.
For my project I got thinking about the people in my life that have been regularly there, and what type of record do I have of them ?
I became interested in the voicemails I have saved over the past few years. Some are funny, some impatient, some are so kind they make me cry. I saved them because it was a piece of someone I love that they left me, and I have it with me always even when countries, miscommunication and sometimes awkwardness have separated me from these people that I care about. these voicemails are not only small pieces of them , they are records of their voice and their day to day happenings. They are important.
For my project I decided to ask family and friends to leave me any kind of message they'd like on my voicemail. I wanted to gather small histories of them on a regular October day. I created a podcast highlighting some of them.
Here is the link to this episode of my podcast:
