An exploration into the snail’s role as archivist, while introducing an epistemology of ‘munging’ - or reading documents orally. A fictional archive of a man who loved snails. The installation includes: a four channel vocal sound work mounted in the overhead scaffolding; 24 archival prints on a curved bench; spoken interview with the archival prints; iPhone dialogue between two snail archivists; single channel video of James munging archival documents; and a Tupperware lettuce container.
