b'General content note for the series: death, dementia, old age, mental health issues\\n\\nA document is a piece of evidence; a record; a proof of something. By this definition, we are all living documents, documents that may or may not be lost to history. What parts of us are recorded? What parts of us are seen?\\n\\nWe record our lives and the lives of others, using our memory and our technology. We choose what to record, how we record it and how we present it, sometimes consciously and sometimes subconsciously. We don\\u2019t always fully choose because we can only work with what we have; sometimes our choices are more restricted than others. We are all documents; we are all documenters; we are all Documentary Makers.\\n\\nArtwork by my brother Tony Pickering: http://www.pick-art.co.uk/'
