Where Were You?

In Where Were You?, Catherine investigates contemporary news and media consumption, predominantly regarding tragedy and terrorism. The prints and book work together to comment on intimate connections to tragedy by way of news media rather than direct personal experience. It is an examination of the discussion around the attacks that took place on September 11th, 2001 in New York City, and, furthermore, the various participant’s reactions, perspectives and insight that accompany the way the story is told to this day. Where Were You? highlights the infiltration of news media in everyday life and the subsequent confusion between virtual association and real life experience that follows in recalling a history.
