Inspired by countless family albums, filled diary pages, and overflowing memory boxes, images and texts have been brought together that recreate, reinterpret, and perpetuate the past.
These memories and the feelings associated with them find a new form in this work, one that can exist independently of memory itself.

“Liebe-Jung” finds its form in multiple layers. Firstly, the pictures on the wall (as sween above) , which either stem from my personal archive or were taken during the semester.
Secondly the book (below) , which contextualises some of the images seen on the wall and gives insight on my thoughts and feelings. The texts are combined with true to size scans of polaroids.
Lastly the room installation that ties it all together. The table represents my desk, a place where I practice the act of remembering almost everyday by writing in my diary or going through images and notes.
It additionally carries some objects, an old image of my grandmother in front of her house, my recreation of that image, 11 polaroids, a pocket shrine, an intercession and a thumb stone as well as two editions of the book.
The rug was a gift from my paternal grandmother, whose flat is plastered with rugs of the same kind. The curtains are a reference to the ones in my maternal gradnmothers livingroom, you can see them in one of the images above.
