Temporal Montage

Memory is not a linear stream like a narrative book or film. Experience is created along linear paths but memory is a collection of experiences that are processed and reassembled into recollections. Over time our memories of past experiences lose their temporal position and blend into a recollection of a location. This recollection may be an assemblage of experiences and events from different points in time. At sensory rich locations such as amusement parks, or during short intense experiences such as travel, our attention is often pulled in many different directions, creating many samples of the location, but not a perfect picture. Memories are composed of these bits and fragments.

This selection of video compositions continues from bodies of pinhole photographic work exploring the nature of memory in relation to experience. The assembled looping fragments explore how recollections are constructed by a series of glances rather than a continuous linear view, attempting to capture a visual memory.
