Mundane Memories Form a Fleshbag with Consciousness
The Cultivist asked me to host a participatory art piece at their Frieze event, at Fotografiska Museum. I asked strangers to share a mundane memory with me, and I shared one with them, consecrating our exchange on a handmade card that served as a pretty takeaway. I think the act of sharing and connecting with strangers, especially with boring memories, is at odds with the nihilistic title at the top of the print. Many people struggled to come up with memories that were truly mundane or meaningless (subjective??) and I sometimes I got annoyed!
