Martin Parker 'Erika'

Martin Parker's sound pieces could be ordered off the menu at Meraz Cafe 56 Hanbury Street. Three conversations with his mother, Erika, in his mother's 'pidgin' between German and English about life in England. The work highlights the creativity of an immigrant in coping with unfamiliar territory and the stories and histories are passed, becoming part of family lore, history and knowledge.
