ResumoRecently, I was in a tall building in downtown Toronto with a panoramic south-facing window. I stopped for a minute to gaze at the endless stream of automobiles flowing along the Gardiner Expressway. As I spied on the concrete arteries bringing travellers to and through the city’s heart, my own heart bubbled over with memories of our summer fling. Suddenly, I felt like the heroine of a Hollywood movie contemplating a past lover from a distance with tenderness and passion. I was haunted by romantic recollections of the fleeting artistic relationship I had enjoyed with this highway. In the universe of site-specific installation and performance, the physical evidence of work may fade or vanish after minutes or months, but the memories, as they say, linger on.
