The vision for this body of work was to collect my memories in an extraordinary, sculptural book: The Book of Fading Memories. The current “edition” consists of twelve memories as part of a portfolio concept. Each turn of the page takes the reader/viewer to a single story narrated in two parallel viewpoints. On the left, a text conveys the way I see the event today. On the opposite page, an image displays my perspective at the time. In some cases, the image is created by tracing or pointillism, while in others, the image follows a bande dessinée style. The booklet of the exhibition plays a critical role in connecting the stories: it mirrors the artworks, acting both as the pamphlet of the show and a multiple of the original pieces.
