Audio-installation, part of the graduation exhibition from Young Artist Program by PRO ARTE Foundation for Culture and Arts
What happens to memory over time? When we access memories, we reproduce the image of past events, each time in a different way, involuntarily distorting them. By preserving artifacts, we try to hold on to memories, creating the illusion of their integrity. A museum, as a collection of artifacts, is an endlessly looped process of recollection.
The installation consists of two gramophones that form an endless soundscape. The gramophones play different parts of the same record cyclically and at different speeds, like different memories of the same thing. Over time, the sound will be distorted due to wear of the needle and record, similar to the distortion of memory.
