Park Your Story

PARK(ing) Day is an annual worldwide event which temporarily transforms on-street car parks into temporary public parks; occupying and reclaim the car park as a public space of interaction. Since it’s inception in 2005, PARK(ing) day has spread around the world. In Adelaide, an ongoing PARK(ing) day installation is “Park Your Story”: a collaborative piece that involved passer-by’s typing one page stories to form a literary output. Two timber plinths were centred around a steel frame; one had a Remington tri-colour typewriter where you would type your story, the other would hold the growing collection of stories.

The instructions are simple.

1. Type one-page storey (think of it as typing a tweet)

2. Place it on the centre plinth.

3. Read what others have written
