(Nie)pamięć / Dissolving Memory
Bachelor's Degree project
Book about memory and dementia, with the main focus on Alzheimer’s disease. It consists of two layers. The first one is a self-written text about psychological aspects of the topics mentioned above and the second – graphic and typographic „effects” overlaying the text. These include distorting, repeating, blurring and erasing elements such as signs, letters, words and sentences. In result, the further you read, the more difficult it becomes to decode the text.
72 pages; digital print; soft cover
paper: Cyclus 130g, Cyclus 350g
The publication consists of three chapters:
About memory;
About forgetting;
About Alzheimer's disease
which represent three main stages of Alzheimer’s.
By working manually and using simply a home scanner, I created a series of disturbing collages which are made out of old photos of a person I know who has developed Alzheimer's disease.
thanks for watching!
