Remember me by…
Milan Ličina
“”Remember me by…”” is an interactive light installation based on the exploration of neurodegenerative diseases, specifically the loss of memory. Contextually, the work is based on the assumption that no memory is ever truly lost. Although it becomes inaccessible and the pathways to it are interrupted, this does not necessarily mean that the memories themselves are erased from our consciousness. By poetizing electrochemical signals, or nerve impulses, through a light choreography, the author aims to question whether and how these interrupted connections can be rebuilt, what triggers the occasional recovery of random memories, in what situations, and how the process of accessing a memory actually looks. Additionally, through an artistic sensibility, this work examines the personal relationship to memory, “”engraving in memory,”” and the projection towards and from the self. This is primarily reflected in the form of the installation itself, which represents a frame – our moment of inscribing into memory remains recorded as a spatial photograph.
