Abstract

This artwork addresses the blurring of family and individual memory, as well as ambiguities in the formal readings of the past. This has been captured in ephemeral wearable object made out of analogue film tape, which is the main fabric of the exhibited garment – a female dress. By embodying the fragility of memory due to its brittleness, the tape served as a vessel to accessing material and immaterial memory. Non-exposed film further contributed to an understanding of traumascape (Tumarkin, 2005) where the blackness of the tape acts as a metaphor for a protective tool in the brain, a black-out in remembrance.
