The Surrogate

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Sophie Maguire & Thena Tak

The Surrogate is an investigation into the common casting of British Columbia (BC) as other cities and landscapes in film and television. The project maintains film as a cultural artifact and that cultural artifacts accumulate to inform identities as they become records of both time and place. Readily consumed and easily accessible, film instills subconscious readings of architecture and landscape to its viewers through sophisticated curation and narrative structures. This research engages drawing and propositions of reorientation to imagine scenarios where British Columbia may come to finally play itself.
