“Unsolicited Memories; Archival Exercises” by Andrea Wolf (2014)
In this video installation new narratives emerge from the juxtaposition and montage of found super8 home movies projected and mapped onto transparent plexi-glass cubes that have been randomly stacked and that seem to contain the images. Each cube, being simultaneously autonomous and part of a larger whole, turns on and off with no discernable pattern, just as memories can be triggered randomly by people, events and happenstance in life. In this way memory and the archive are deconstructed and rearticulated, both preserving and erasing the past, acting as memory objects that can be manipulated to facilitate new versions of the past. follow link for more: http://www.andreawolf.org/artwork/unsolicited-memories-archival-exercises |
