The first evidence bag (one of ten) which comprises of
a photo from that step, along with objects within the bag

4 photos from the main Cambridge 'derive' N.Gear Sept 2013

The main 'dérive' walk around the streets of Cambridge has just been completed with both text and objects having been gathered over 9264 steps taken over 2 hours and twenty minutes, in the pouring rain.
My 'installation' piece 'Lost, found [lost...?] will emerge from the material collected ready for the Art:Language:Location event starting on the 17th of October. 
The work looks to respond to the value(s) we attribute to the words and objects we ‘lose’ in the landscape, what happens when we ‘find’ them again, and what have we have ‘lost’ of ourselves in the process?
