A Continued Conversation
In 2015, Lyon completed Tallangatta Valley, a photographic project documenting the residents of the small agricultural community of Tallangatta Valley, Australia, her childhood home. A Continued Conversation is a site-specific installation and performance that builds upon this earlier work by inviting participation from the Tallangatta Valley community.
The residents who participated in Tallangatta Valley were invited to visit A Continued Conversation—installed at the Murray Art Museum Albury—and remove an envelope with their name on it. Each envelope held the photographs of another individual or family living in Tallangatta Valley. Through a letter enclosed in each envelope, the individuals and families were encouraged to contact each other, and meet in their respective homes to exchange the photographs.
