The result of Kelly Mark's month-long residency in Liverpool in 2006 was a project in which she interviewed 26 residents, one for each letter of the alphabet: Adam, Ben, Catherine, Dolly, Eileen, Fenfen, Gill, Hilary, Iain, John, Karl, Laura, Margo, Neil, Olivier, Paul, Queenie, Roger, Steven, Tony, Uka, Vinny, Wibke, Xavier, Yorkie and Zena.
The participants include a dancer, singer, town planner, teacher, police officer, retired postal worker, BBC presenter, a philosopher and many others. The bookwork combines photographs of each with a short quote from the video interviews Mark conducted with the Liverpudlians.
Designed to echo the iconic London street guide, Liverpool A–Z is an attempt to create a human map of the city. Mark provides a short introduction and Alan Dunn of Tenantspin contributes an essay. Both are excerpted below.
“Through the process of story telling a portrait of a city emerges from its people. Using the map guide of Liverpool A-Z as a starting point twenty-six individuals, with names ranging from Adam to Zena, were asked to share personal stories, insights and opinions in order to create a temporal guide to their city, an emotive map which includes humor, sadness, anger and love. The true essence of a city is its people.”

"The A-Z street map as we know it today was the brainchild of Phyllis Pearsall (MBE) in 1936. It is a tool with thousands of equal working parts yet activities such as house hunting or relocating inevitably make a few pages dog-eared and marked while leaving the bulk of the A-Z as pristine sheets of streets, parts of the city that one need not, should not or cannot access.
My own Liverpool A-Z, purchased in late 1994 while house-hunting, is a case in point. Pages 95-100 are loose, as are 73/74 and 117/118 – both areas of residence. Page 199 has a red line drawn along The New Chester Road to give someone directions to The Oval and page 102 has Hatton’s Lane marked. A further 10 pages have been referred to, making a total of 22 pages from 175.
From two project managers and a call for participants on the local BBC Radio station, the avenues starting opening up. As buildings grow from single buildings on the river bank, one email became a phone call became a project proposal became a letter and a group of 26 guests who are in no way the only 26 people who could have participated in Liverpool A-Z but tenantspin as the connection between all these people – direct and also remote – became the validation for this particular mapping.
Kelly and tenantspin have pieced together a city in which no areas are deemed inaccessible, unnecessary or undesirable. Arts, law, history, philosophy, entertainment, sport, activism and media are all represented. As are the gaps in-between; people as citizens, observers, doers, participants in urban life and people as fine details of this great city, brought together to form more than the sum of the parts."

ReplyDeleteCAN YOUR LOST FUNDS BE RECOVERED?
100% YES. Expressive question entreated by victims. Here is the reason you need to know about the GLOBALKOS HACK TEAM.
HEAR MY STORY. Valuable information and Privileges comes rare. People barely know what they have never seen. I was a victim of a scam. People from all walks of life can fall a victim when the time is right. I recalled how I came across a business website who promised a huge return on investment. I was so convinced. The website was good and after it whole convincement, I ended up depositing 7,000 dollars. I was silly and excited to think I could get 200% return on my investment the next day. the next day came, i requested for my profit then got nothing. To cut the story short, I realized I have lost my money after the story which was conveyed to me was mistrustful. I am a police officer whose practice also specializes in evaluation of such psychological play. I would believe not to have fallen for such deceit on a good day.
After a year, I saw a review online that navigated me to the global KOS hacker who used a hack protocol’s , whereby the locations and data of the deceptive provenience were traced into their monetary base network. He was able to recover more than what I lost. I was perplexed as I wouldn’t have thought i could encounter such guru. I feel so much happy till this date.

ReplyDeleteA few months ago, I felt so depressed, I got frustrated with bad credits, but then I contacted HACK VANISH by phone: +1 (747) 293-8514 and email: HACK VANISH (@) GMAIL. COM. I found out about hack vanish services through positive reviews read on some credit blogs, in a blink of an eye this great hacker restored my credit score from 509 to 784 in all 3 major credit bureaus, they got removed evictions and foreclosures, my LexisNexis and Chex system was repaired respectively, a few days later I received an email confirming the approval of my mortgage loan, it was quite surprising because I never thought it was possible. Today, I can confidently say that 2021 was a banner year for my husband and I as we now own a new house and a new SUV courtesy of HACK VANISH, I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of a genuine Hacker.
