Mindspace Fragments V
Photograms, various objects on meotar, 30cm x 40cm, Prague 2020
What do we choose to fill those empty spaces in our minds? This was one of the questions which filled mine, as I thought about spending ten days detached from society and obsessing over creating imprints of memories and discarded objects around me. It was difficult to remember the day and date without reverse calculating. The dreams became increasingly vivid and maintaining a journal allowed me to have an anchor point amidst the downward spiral of my thoughts.
The dreams I had throughout these ten days of detachment had a common element that reoccurred across scenarios - I would identify a powerful moment to compose an image; however the circumstances, people, my own inadequacies or willingness would prevent me from doing so. These compiled photograms which allude to fragmented memories are made through an old overhead projector, which felt like it was the only source of light around darkness for me to hold onto.
