Memory Maker (abridged)
Version 1. London Edition
Version 1. London Edition
2009
Book installation
Display on the wall, box with 45 adhesive copies of images, 4 blank books.
Purpose:
Low-tech device that involve the audience in the process of collecting, organizing and classifying my personal memories from 45 weeks of living and studying in London.
On the wall: Images displayed for the audience to browse before choosing from the box.
In the box: Copies of each of the 45 images arranged according the color dominating the picture, giving a guideline of the possible meanings and stories in the relation color/emotion.
Process: After choosing a sample from the wall, the observer is invited to stick the image on a blank form, then write an adjective, color and month
Result: Create a collective archive that relies on the making process, in search for a personal artistic expression that also wants to be universal.
This archive is an experiment that allowed my personal journals to evolve into a book-object that understands the endless possibilities of the inevitable subjectivity of recording memory.
We created a collaborative sample book of shared memories and perceptions.
