Site-integrity


Site-integrity is a site-specific, process-driven research practice that fosters ethical, artistic co-creation for socio-spatial agency, particularly within marginalised communities. Grounded in Massey’s (2006) understanding of place as an evolving intersection of social, material, and symbolic relationships, it frames filmmaking as a collective, site-responsive act. Site-integrity presents recorded material in the original location where it was filmed, using custom motorised recording and playback devices. Here, ‘place’ is understood as both represented and experienced, with the materiality of site captured through the projected image — seen as a performative rather than representational tool (Marsh, 2022). This co-creative approach also extends to the creation of digital, living archives that empower communities to narrate their own spaces as living, emergent entities, offering an affective, relational experience that moves beyond traditional modes of representation.


Community co-creation

Collaboration sits at the heart of site-integrity. Communities are positioned as active participants and co-authors, not subjects. Building trust, reciprocity, and shared authorship ensures that local voices meaningfully shape the work’s development and representation.

Ethical filmmaking

Using motorised camera devices, site-integrity articulates the material, architectural, institutional, and social dimensions of place through an ethically and culturally informed lens, challenging extractive representational practices.

In-site exchange and dialogue

Exploring film as an expanded, site-responsive practice, site-integrity bridges real and representational space. It creates critical, experiential platforms that challenge dominant narratives and reframe how social spaces are encountered and understood.
