SERIES: ''THE MEMORY MOURNS WHAT IT HAS NOT SEEN #1,2,3,...'

Abstract

In my own individual artistic work and research, I -as a captor of impressions and as an archivist of memories-, often start out from the images that I gather around me (photographs, 8 mm films, slides, etc.). Many of these treasured keepsakes are confined to our cakeboxes and risk to become lost relics of a pre-digital era. But there is more. Their historical importance as holders of memories for the protagonists in the picture will, in time, be replaced by interpretations of strangers to these pictures ‘inventing’ new stories. Daily life takes its own path without any historical awareness. I am attempting to reverse this, from this multiple body of thought that old pictures enclose attempt to change a fundamental doubt about the original image into a new opportunity to approach reality.
