"Unless Otherwise Posted" is a collaborative installation designed by Skye Ruozzi & Rose McShane for Shadow Traffic’s Alter/Altar tour.
This project occupies a structure traditionally used to separate people - the fence. Instead of dividing, the piece engages the fence as a platform for shared memories.
Passersby select from three color-coded categories of tags to answer the prompt "What do you miss about the neighborhood?" Visitors will inscribe the water-resistant cards with their reminiscences, and tie them to the fence. As the sharing increases, the cards and ribbons will grow across the fence, creating an abstract patterning or temporary collective reflection. We encourage participants to share their memories online.
