Digital sketches for the design of Memoryhouse. 2048 x 2732 pixels.
During the Summer of 2017, I shot quite a lot of street photography and since then I had been looking for a way of using these images, as the material for an artwork that involved a number of them.
These are images of something that has happened. Short stories that talk about emotions and time spent together and they were shot – amongst other reasons – to help my girlfriend at the time, Anne, remember the experiences that we had shared together during the summer, as she suffers from a condition that means that she will, in a short space of time, forget about what happened in her life, so I set upon the task of constructing a machine that would reproduce what happens in her brain.
Originally I thought about building some wooden projectors that would be powered by a bright source of light. The photos would be printed in acetate and then stuck onto perspex, working as slides. This slides would be combined into one projection that would mess up the memories.

I also designed a 3d screen for the projection of this devices to be displayed, so that this would allow me to play with the boundary between the worlds of two and three dimensions (2D images displayed on a 3D surface, creating a 3D object).
I discarded this idea for the complexity of building all the devices (I started building the screen) and decided to use the materials that were already available for me at the university: Projectors and cameras.
With them I created various environments in which I create a 3D object by projecting several images against a corner and then turning the generated object back into a 2D representation of itself by capturing an image of it with a camera and feeding this image onto another projector.
