Instant Memoir

Ends in about 1 month: September 12 → November 16, 2024

Instant Memoir is my private retrospective.

my review of passed moments, 30 years of private life, my time collection consisting of chronology, and repetition, and relativity. my very own private panopticum.

30 years of family novel out of 30’000 instant images, fast developed uniques without negatives inside 33 sealed albums.

lived moments.

the private is political, and it is private.

a picture novel of childbirth, and marriages, and funerals, birthdays, Christmas dinners, and summer vacations, of friendships and loves and separations, of self and we and some others.

trivial female stories. trivial private female history.

and 30’000 instant — here and now — pictures ruthlessly and uncensored edited onto a video timeline of 33 minutes in an endless loop. this only exists im kopfkino — the cinema inside your head.

unrecognizably ruthless.

a selfie wont do that trick. neither will pornography.

the erotic of trivialities doesn’t subject to the dictate of public privacy.
