✎ · Screen Memory, 2024

Screen Memories are a Freudian concept, referring to trivial memories which lay on top of and thereby efface other, more formative and potentially traumatic ones, leading to false recollections or even the suppression of past events. Yet this term could also be read differently - screen memories as memories of screens, or by means of screens.

 

This two channel video installation investigates the role of screens (also including window-, projection- or movie screens) in processes of remembering, forgetting and missing. Multiple narratives surrounding themes of loss, Greek mythology, language history and cinema are interwoven to depict both personal as well as collective forms of screen memories, and their potential to both destabilise and create new meaning.
