THE MEMORY PALACE
Short Film
2021
Our phones are becoming an archive of our memories that we carry with us everywhere. The Memory Palace.
How much we are willing or able to pay for storage space determines the extent of our Memory Palace.
Limited storage capacities allow for only certain memories to prevail and survive, while others are forced to be erased and kept away in dark external storage units. This process of selecting and transferring memories takes place on regular basis for me, an individual with a limited memory and a far too small storage capacity. Despite it being quite tedious, the process of archiving old memories and making space for new ones, it allows for a nostalgic pause in time and space. In times of Covid-19, when we cannot travel, the Memory Palace reminds us what it used to be like and what it can be.
