The Travelling Guest Book (2002)

In late summer 2002 Blind Ditch interviewed passers-by – locals and tourists – at villages and attractions across the South Hams district of Devon about their thoughts on the region. Each interviewee’s story was edited into a sound work on CD to accompany a series of colour stills of the moment of conversation. The images were combined with maps of the area and hand bound into a ‘guest book’. Readers were invited to leaf through the book whilst listening to the soundtrack; writing their own comments about their experience of the book and their own thoughts about the South Hams onto the waiting pages. The work is both a record of a moment in time and a collection of opinions on the nature of tourism, landscape and local politics
