NOMURA Zai “Can’t Remember I Forgot You”
OPEN SITE 8 | Open Call Program【Exhibition】
At some point in the future, data of humans during their lifetime are endlessly recycled by way of AI, so that the data remain alive even after people’s death. They are increasingly unable to remember things that we have forgotten, or that have fallen into oblivion. While standing up the memories sculpturally engraved in the photographs and expressing lost memories as material bodies, the work blurs the boundary between memories and records, to discuss matters and forms of existence, memory and death in the present age.
