Historic Site: Arnold's Way
2010
video
A group of short videos shot at historic markers throughout New England, exploring the imprint of history on our landscape and cities. Simultaneously present and absent, relevant and irrelevant, humorous and grave, history is intimate, everywhere, and yet unreachable, a narrative construction existing in our collective imagination. The act of contemplating in these spaces transforms my own relationship to these historic sites.

This site commemorates the location on the Kennebec River in Maine where Benedict Arnold's 1775 military expedition diverted from the river and traveled to Quebec by land.
