MEMORY LOST
Memory Lost turns its focus to the recollections of others—drawn from anonymous Super 8mm home movies purchased on eBay. These once-private recordings, now ownerless and commodified, offer glimpses into family histories that have slipped from personal hands. Over the course of a year, the artist scanned and edited more than 5,000 feet of film from ten families, dating from the 1950s to the 1980s. Still images pulled from the footage are paired with imagined dialogue, creating speculative narratives that blur the line between memory and invention. The series reflects on the fragility of memory, the circulation of personal archives, and the question of who owns a story once it leaves the frame.

I DIDN'T WANT TO LOOK AT YOU

HE WAS ALWAYS SO SAD

I DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE HER CRY

WE WERE HAPPY THEN

SHE WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL

I WAS LOST IN THOUGHT

I TRIED MY BEST ALWAYS

I LOVED HER MORE

HE WAS FEARLESS

HE WAS A MAN'S MAN

THEY DIDN'T PLAY WITH US

I STILL DREAM OF HIM

WE DESPERATELY DESIRED TO BE FAMOUS

SHE COULD NOT FOLLOW
