MEMORY OF A CHAIR
Reims – 2021
A work made for the Design Academy Eindoven admission.
Memory of a chair is an art installation which poetically evokes the violence of the Time erasing souvenirs.
There was at my great grandparents a homemade chair that stood the test of time until it ended up forgotten in the attic because it was too old. Like a ghost this chair has always been present in our family.
The fragile memory of the object has been lost over the years. This memory stolen by the time gives the chair all its poetry, opening a door to the imagination. When is it from? Who are my ancestors who sat on it?
In my head born fantasies caused by
the violence of time which tears the
memory. Lost memory is what gives the
splendor of Stonehenge, it’s dreaming
of the Atlantis, it’s the expression of life
by its duration as in the work of Opalka,
it’s a memento mori
