Phrase Triggers (1976-2020)
Mark Gane’s Phrase Triggers are excerpts from songs written and recorded by Martha and the Muffins—of which Gane was a founding member—and projected in various locations around Cape Breton. When removed from the context of each song and broken down into fragmentary texts, the phrases become more ambiguous in their meaning. The projection of the phrases onto the surfaces of structures and natural formations in the local environment open up space for unique associations between the words and the sites (particularly in their purpose or history), allowing the lyrics to take on new meanings beyond the original context of the songs.
