Turning to the experience of the emigration of my family, I am offering a new perspective on what a home is. I’m looking at <laquo; dom» not as a specific place, a as a complex memory design, as a composite image formed from memories of several houses, from short-lived feelings attached to different geographical points formed am 0; complex collage memory assembly.
The installation consists of layers of semi-translucent tissue, as if slices of memory planes about house consecutively located in space, with inscribed on a drawing of different interior fragments from my memories. The spectator’s movement across the fabric plane creates a situation of turning to the smashing and the smashing memory fragments, which every time goes back to the new, changing space, reminiscent of the huhnbsp; home. Moving further and further, you can see soft objects that are remotely reminiscent of furniture items — fragile remnants of memories about interiors. In a video posted in the end of the installation created with the help of neurosnet and personal photographs from family archive, visualization of the process of disappearance and the fragmentation of memories, vascularity and memory loss.
Object series
Moving deeper into the installation, the recollection planes, form <laquo; rooms» in where soft furniture objects are scattered. They’re still recognizable, but in softening stages and decay as well as shapes of the « house» itself. It’s made from the archivist tissue of my relatives, who survived the change of several homes due to the emigration of my family.
