You Are Here, 1997

Artist

For his INSITE97 Community Engagement project, Glen Wilson worked within the community of North Park in San Diego to film sequences of everyday life. Wilson filmed residential areas, people in the street, children waiting for the school bus, among other community scenes. You are Here/Estás aquí became a collection of short films that Wilson projected onto walls of North Park buildings two nights per week over a two-month period. The showings attracted equally spontaneous gatherings of people each night. Wilson’s project also involved an installation, a collaborative effort between the artist and community members. Sited in a local building in North Park, the installation consisted of objects from people’s homes, and poems and stories painted on the walls.
