This is an exploration into potential memory manipulation through fashion and installation. Artists such as Louise Bourgeois have been a great influence on this project.
Inspired by John Baldessari, blocking parts changes the nature of the original event. Whether it is good or bad remains unknown.
Memory manipulation may potentially become a service widely provided for everyone in the society. Scientific experiments in the past decade have successfully synthesized or altered memory in mice and this has intrigued me to wonder what the process would be like to change my own. Some memories used to be pleasant but have become disturbing over time that I don’t want to recall anymore. Yet it shapes who I am at present. Its ambiguity and my ambivalence towards it drive me through the project.
Time goes by, memory blurs and feeling changes. It had been a good one to remember, by the next time you recall, it is abusive. Memory is ambiguous.
Pillows and duvets are indeed comfortable but also potentially suffocating. Similarly, some memories are pleasant but some are disturbing and haunting. This photograph indicates the visual effect of the floor installations I would like to create for my outcome.
Through the service of memory manipulation, I’d get to decide which memory to stay around.
Yet, bad memory shapes who I am at present. The dominance may go both ways.
