Horst Ademeit at Hamburger Bahnhof

Hamburger Bahnhof - Berlin: "HORST ADEMEIT"

I'm still haunted by this exhibition last week. I'm currently working on an exhibition called The Excess of Memory that goes hand and hand with an expat's tendency to live many lives and mix those memories.

I'm an incessant notekeeper + journal writer. Moving so many times leaves me with memories from too many places that shuffle and overlap, sometimes morphing into inaccurate images and half truths. My notes are my feeble attempts to get it all down to reference later.

For these reasons, I found this Fresh interview about the digital afterlife fascinating. Enjoy.
