The Cost of Forgetting

Saturday, October 03 - 5:00PM to 5:15PM
Medallion C & D

The incredibly complex, and misunderstood phenomenon, known as memory, is one that is a frequently explored by artists. Whilst memory itself is a broad process our understanding could be enhanced when it is broken into several specific and separate facets. This lecture will present one body of work that looks at a more specific type of memory: the ephemeral memories of the everyday. Psychiatric research on the impacts that diseases such as Schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s have on these types of memories have helped to inform this photographic installation and emphasize the importance of objects we routinely use.
