It's clearly a reductionist way of interpreting something that's largely experiential, though Aitken says the documentation is really just another part of a piece's narrative. “If you create any kind of installation or artwork in that vein, really all that ever lasts through time is the documentation,” he says. “The documentation becomes the narrative.”
