“...Aesthetic pleasure is associated with renewal, rather than with objectification.”
Memory is a media we create in our mind, to look at the past, to reassure and for our built-up identity to rely on. However it is never objective. It is not about reality but rather the deformation of it. It is a mixture of truth and imaginary. And it is all about details of reminiscent and often there is absence of time and people. Fragments and pieces of the reality are the relics of personal history. And the feeling of “me” is what happens when the “artificial” and “real” are mixed, then some fantastic things happen in-between. Memory gives us identity and it is moving and changing. Hidden and beyond literal description, the feeling we have about everything, about a time, a place, beauty, love and about ourselves are like blurred picture in our mind and deformed and montage in our own particular way. We are building our reality in a way only we can.

to gather together signs and to move them from a private realm to a public one with the purpose of holding on to the source material of memory (Derrida 1995); it enables memory by becoming a repository of the impressions of our past. In society and culture it is important to give voice and visibility to those who are suppressed, unheard and lacking positive representation. We claim that the use of personal photographs with the process of intimate listening and discussions can extend the story and its private and intimate content to a public and cultural context. This kind of action can reveal the cultural taboos and everyday practises that shape concepts of self and knowledge of the world. This is the last week before the fair. I have a new record of being in the wood workshop until 2 in the morning.
Main stuff I did: finishing the back boards(L shape is tricky which cant be done by machine), glueing the frame and the back(L shape is tricky too), glueing the needled felt in the back, sanding, waxing and glueing the round shape felt on the surface. The project is finished on Thursday 2 oclock in the morning Then fotoshooting and packing. I am leaving for Stockholm fair tommorrow morning. See you in the fair! |
