MNEMOSYNE is the fourth and final series in the book SAGEN. I started working on this concept in 2023, printing the positive scans onto photographic paper. I then worked on these prints with ink, fire, cuttings, tape, water, construction putty, and other physical elements. The positive prints are eventually torn apart and re-glued together, then scanned and inverted as if they were the actual film strip. This work aims to be consequence and synthesis of the previous themes of the book, both technically and thematically. Exploring the connection between memory and the photographic medium, I also wanted to investigate further the urgency of documenting the present against the physical and mental depletion operated by time. These themes are pushed further and framed within a mixed-media approach that aims to highlight the connection in between the physical world and the representation we attempt to make of it.
