Our memory is not an archive, but a creative process: it forgets, condenses, distorts – and builds a coherent story from fragments. It is precisely this beauty and fragility that is at the heart of my “Memory Falsification”<\/strong> series. <\/p>\n In my art series “Memory Falsification”<\/strong>, I immerse myself in an area that silently combines scientific knowledge and personal experience: Memory<\/strong>. Memory research shows how quickly content fades if it is not repeated or actively anchored. Memory is fleeting – and yet it often feels absolute. In my work, I translate this into layers: Places that are clear – and others that elude, overlap, blur.<\/p>\n There are moments that stay with you as if they were burned into your memory: Smells, places, sentences, looks. Emotion can condense and intensify memories – sometimes beautiful, sometimes painful. A particularly fascinating point: memory is malleable<\/strong>. It can be changed by language, expectations or later information – and suddenly an experience becomes a different version of the same event. This series is a visual exploration of this,<\/p>\n
\nMemory is not storage<\/h2>\n
The more I delve into it, the clearer it becomes: We don’t simply remember “what was”. We remember what our brain makes of it. <\/p>\n
\nWhat we forget shapes us just as much as what remains<\/h2>\n
This tension interests me: transience<\/strong> on the one hand, conviction<\/strong> on the other. <\/p>\n
\nEmotion leaves its mark<\/h2>\n
I then work with intense colors, contrasts and dynamic structures to make precisely these “charged” memories visible: not as an illustration, but as a feeling of depth and pressure. <\/p>\n
\nMemory can be influenced<\/h2>\n
This fragility is reflected in overlapping forms, “shifted” details and blurred transitions: as an image for the boundary between reality and reconstruction. <\/p>\n
\nWhat “Memory Falsification” is about for me<\/h2>\n
