I’ve been editing stories which we’ve collected from Sutton, and remembered the conversation I’ve had with a good friend recently. We were talking about what stories, events and patterns of living are retold about certain places in the past, and so we wondered what would be told in the future about our days. My friend, who is a vegan thinks that people in the future will find the fact that we ate meat outrageous!
Our daily lives are being over documented in detail in various ways, and I wonder what will remain of all of this documentation…and how significant all of it is…in my city, Beirut, sometimes it feels that stories repeat themselves overtime! What do you think will be told of Sutton in 50 or more years?
