Action over seven consecutive days, 22-28 February 2004
The action Seven days comprised seven banner marches organised over seven
consecutive days around Melbourne. The first six marches took place at dawn.
The seventh took place at dusk, without banners, and was followed by a volksküche.
Seven days is part of Marches for another
season, an ongoing project of banner marches initiated in 2003. The project’s
structure has developed alongside a process of collecting instances of the
creation of national boundaries since 1901. This catalogue of boundaries,
ordered by date, provides a mnemonic system for the banner marches. Each national
boundary generates a line. This line provides a route for marching, so that
each march traces a national boundary by its course through a given place.
The process of marching and tracing is ongoing.
