the archivist of personal narrative

so - my Tell Motel project:

the acquisition and archiving of personal narratives in audio interview and transcription forms
(transcription to give a visual/ material experience of the text)

acquiring stories through responses from back page ads / craigslist / online posts etc

the reenactment of personal narratives _ who? how? what mediums involved? where? where is the audience?

issues with site specificity in relation to audience participation and engagement vs. the the inherent nomadic / non-site specificity of transitional dwelling spaces
