Description
Some memories are as fragile as soap bubbles: they appear, shine, and disappear. They are born from fragmented images, photographs, stories—and sometimes from our imagination. The real and the invented intertwine, and we cannot know what has been lived and what has been shaped by desire.
When Jean Piaget (a Swiss psychologist, considered one of the founders of modern child psychology) was a young child, he believed he could clearly remember the way a man had tried to kidnap him from his stroller in the park. In his memory, the nanny was fighting the aggressor, she was scratched, and little Piaget remembered lying in the stroller and seeing everything—the aggression, the fear, the kidnapper's escape. This scene was so vivid in his mind that he told the story with confidence and detail. When Piaget became a teenager, the family received a letter from the nanny, who confessed that the whole "kidnapping" had been a lie. She had invented the story to appear as a heroine who had saved the child. There had never been an aggressor. Piaget realized that he had a clear memory of something that had never happened. This episode deeply impressed him, and he often cited it as an example of how human memory is constructive and deceptive—we do not simply reproduce the past; we recreate and enrich it every time we remember. We can be convinced that something entirely invented is a real memory.
At the heart of this series of photographs is the absence of a presence—and its creation through imagined memories. Ethereal like soap bubbles, indistinct, monochrome, they filled the empty space of a lost image and became reality. A small box of old black and white photographs helped me; from them, my imagination shaped the missing memories. These photographs are an attempt to capture and materialize that space between memory and fantasy, where absence becomes presence, and where memory is born of desire.
