Swimming Lessons, 2021
Swimming Lessons translates analog and digital media into a fragmented net of memories. Taking place both in ‘real time’ and in the past, the video-meditation seeks to re-collect, and organize the clutter of memories within the speaker’s cognitive archive. Using inherited images, screen recordings, and lensless recording techniques, the work progressively erodes the visual material, causing consequential file corruption and the manifestation of digital artefacts on the image's surface. These disruptions call attention to the importance of maintaining memories, while also questioning whether memory is immanently autofictional or archival.
