Our views on current events have been, and continue to be, influenced profoundly by the internet. Social media enhances our ability to find independent pieces of evidence to validate our memories, but it also has the potential to taint and distort them. People tend to think of their memories as a history of events from some early age until the very moment they are experiencing. But what if our minds have the potential for more profound errors that enable the manipulation or even outright fabrication of our memories? Our memories are constructive. They’re reconstructive. Memory works … like a Wikipedia page: you can go in there and change it, but so can other people.
Focusing on the evolution of photo manipulation, which has been prevalent since the early days of photography, I present a set of hand-printed and collaged photographs that reflect upon the intentional selection of memories. I delved into analog photographic processes, actively engaging with physical post-production in the darkroom and exploring the art of physical collage, emphasizing the importance of physicality and hand processes in my work, highlighting that image manipulation predates digital advancements.
