description
Home is the place where human’s life begins and ends. Home characterizes a person. Loss of home affects a human. And contrariwise, a house disappears with the end of a person. This leads to loss of connection and history and to following replacement of memory. How long can we keep the memories of a house that will never appear in the present?
What happens to an object when it goes to another owner, to another everyday life? This thing is like a guide from the past to the present. But, getting into a different space the object seems to reset to zero. It is no longer a thing from that life, it loses commonality with that mode of life and tries to fit into a new one. Such an object in the present becomes not a reality, but like a sediment of the past.
The recreated objects are an attempt to catch, fix memories of home. But is it possible to reconstruct the faraway past?
