IN WITH THE MATCHBOX PROJECT




16th JULY 2009


While we were at the opening of Acts of Disobedience featuring The Matchbox Project at the Australian Centre for Photography, Sonya Gee expected that soon the thousands of matchboxes she had provided for her show would disappear and that she would soon have to replace them.


PRESENT DAY




Sonya Gee of the Matchbox Project takes me to check out just how many matchboxes she needs to replace. Along the way Sonya drops off a matchbox and uncharacteristically allows me to document the process.

The idea is that you take a Matchbox from the vase (see the top photograph), place it somewhere for someone else to find (see bottom photograph), then email or SMS the location of the matchbox from the details provided at the ACP.
