Blurry Memories
They say that the biggest change in the past 30 years has
been the iphone. Since everyone is carrying a camera in their phone, memory is
no longer needed. People take thousands of pictures a year, of every detail of
their life that they don’t want to forget. Camera phones are used as part of
human memory. We relate to our phones to take pictures of the everyday life
things we would forget otherwise. We take pictures and post them for the world
to see, and we expect this way they will not be forgotten.
Pictures are no longer a tool to remember special moments
like birthdays and trips. They work as a report of every detail of everyday
life. They say that when you post a picture on instagram you have 30% more
change to forget that moment. Your brain feels like this memory is safe, but
chances are, you are not going to review this picture again.
This series of paintings talk about how our memories are
recorded by non professional photographers. They are blurry images with
filtered colors of memories you don’t need to remember.
