TETRAHEDRON [2013]

TETRAHEDRON is a set of ten videos drawing from a fascination with the phenomena of collective memory. In an increasingly digitized and globalized society; events, people and experiences to which the majority of individuals have no connection become internalized as personal memory through the mechanisms of collective memory.

A series of fabricated narratives emerged. Exploring the original images with reference to specific instances of collective, public memory; the resulting videos form a dialectic of sorts between the individual and the collective. The sources of fact in each mediation oscillates between these two poles, the narratives formed occupying a space that resists delineation. Such a dialectic is inherently unstable.
