Manual of made up memories


Interactive installation
Photographs by Clara Hamamura

Which narratives can we imagine from the objects we collect over time? what do they say about us? aren't our memories, precisely, a mixture of these material evidences and the stories that - invented or not - we associate with them? I've always been curious to snoop through other people's drawers and get to know them better based on what they choose to keep. To investigate these organizations, discover their little secret worlds. During the last few months, I've been collecting objects that - somehow - seemed magical to me, took me to another place, and I wanted people to be able to see and feel them with me. Manual of made up memories is an interactive installation made up of drawers and objects produced and found at antique fairs.
