Morphing Memories and the Possible Future

The series Morphing Memories and the Possible Future focuses on transforming memories and how they can be manipulated. Memories are in flux and are repeatedly changed when being recalled. When remembering a past experience, we never recall the original memory, but always activate the most recent version of our recollection. During this process mistakes are bound to happen. [Julia Shaw] In the project Morphing Memories and the Possible Future, I am investigating these reshaped memories, which substantially influence our identity. I aim to visualize these transformations of memories on the basis of objects and sculptures from antiquity. Their form language is universally known and deeply rooted in our collective memory. By transforming these historic objects, I want to show how their purpose and function as carriers of information start to alter.

The embossings and debossings are recurring in several of the different works, underlining the idea of the shifting memories whilst keeping some of the stored recollections imbedded in each work.
