Abstract

This thesis provides an in-depth analysis of the use of Kodachrome snapshots in Bernadette Mayer’s Memory (1971), focusing on their topographic nature as a means to address two major threads of the project: Mayer’s explicit attention to spatial politics within the landscapes she traverses and her interest in the role of images in her mnemonic mapping experiments.
