ABSTRACT The centennial of the First World War constituted a major event for many nations. For New Zealand, much of the memorialization focused on the campaign at Gallipoli, which has become an important part of the nation’s identity. This essay examines one of the official memorials to Gallipoli, a large exhibition entitled “The Scale of Our War.” Designed in conjunction with filmmaker Sir Richard Taylor and his Weta Studio, the exhibition combines artifacts and displays with larger than life hyperrealistic figures. Focusing on the cinematic framing of the exhibition, we question the rhetorical limits of media technologies in creating immersive experiences for patrons. We suggest that the spectacle of the cinematic framing of remembrance may overshadow the events being remembered.

我们记忆的规模:纪念加里波利的奇观

摘要 第一次世界大战一百周年对许多国家来说是一件大事。对于新西兰来说,大部分纪念活动都集中在加里波利的竞选活动上,这已成为国家身份的重要组成部分。本文考察了加里波利的官方纪念馆之一,这是一个名为“我们战争的规模”的大型展览。该展览与电影制片人理查德泰勒爵士和他的维塔工作室共同设计,将文物和展示与比真人更大的超现实主义人物结合在一起。专注于展览的电影框架,我们质疑媒体技术在为顾客创造身临其境的体验方面的修辞限制。我们认为,电影般的记忆框架可能会掩盖被记住的事件。
