Cache
The statement that represents the book is the definition of its title –
cache memory. The decision to name the book and present it through this
definition is handed down as recognition of what is hidden in photographs,
coded and read through context; that photographs can unfold memories but
not necessarily the same ones that were originally embedded in them. I’m
researching a history that I don’t see as actually mine; Family memories
that I am not part of. The images become objects that I use in order to
create a new history and memory of my own; people and places as I would
like to remember and understand them. I started not only looking for my
identity in the old photos but also reflect my feelings from these photos
on to the world around me. I look for Moments and objects were there is a
tension that is created by their incomplete aesthetic. Photography allows
me to look at the little and unimportant objects around me and make them a
part of my history just by giving them attention. By looking at them I
capture them to remember, not letting them go away, yet not trying to save
them. Watching their last seconds before I leave and the moment becomes
irrelevant, capturing their last breath. With my camera I grant them with
eternity and in that I grant myself a memory. The book cover has an
envelope that is sealed with a wax fossil stamp - just like the content of
the book there is always something the reader can not open fully even
though it is right there for them to see.
