Body, Memory House, Installation view, Grossman Gallery, SMFA, Boston, MA
Body, Memory House explores compromised identity, intimacy, and memory as auto-fiction through photographic prints and text, cataloging various relationships and the blurred line between public and private.
The relationship of text and image confuse each other, one might reveal more about the other, but forever present is partial concealment. The use of self portraits complicates the photographs position as ‘the truth,’ questioning the reliability of personal narrative and ownership of the self— Body, Memory House is a series best seen from the periphery, a knot of phrases uttered in private space, a series of fleeting glances compounding into a single understood experience.
