The Memory Project is a collection of reconstructed memories, built from, and into, photographs.
The existence of memories seems to interlock with their photographic representation - the ephemeral, while taking on the form of a photograph, escapes the evolution of a non-documented memory that involves vanishing, fluctuations and mutations. The Memory Project on its own part, stops the progress, but grabs each remembered vision in a later phase of its evolution.
Each photograph has an edition of 5 (+ 3 Artist's Proofs).
