This project is a research and a reflection on how built environment shapes us and impacts us throughout our lives. It includes depictions of aerial maps with cut out places that represent memories, sometimes from the same period of time, sometimes not connected at all. It emphasizes the randomness of our memories within the places that we inhabit and how they layer throughout our lives. It is also an attempt to show how disappearance or restricted access to these places of memory impacts us, in my personal experience, of course. 

 The project was inspired by: 

– Nick Cave’s documentary “20 000 days on Earth” and 

– Sol LeWitt’s “Not to be sold for more than $100. Folds, Rips + Maps” 

 – what do you fear the most? 

– my biggest fear I guess is losing my memory… because memory is what we are, you know. and I think that your very soul and your very reason to be alive is tied up in memory. 

from “20 000 days on Earth”
