No pain, no awareness and no memory

Giles, Lawrence G

Abstract

Explores the role of the custodian of a family album in the collating and orchestration of future remembering.

Central to this activity is the process of editing with the aim of not making something factually impeccable, but seamlessly persuasive.

Created from a series of found discarded 35mm negatives circa 1960’s in Liverpool and displayed as a film based circular narrative, no pain, no awareness, and no memory interests lay in the process by which photographs prompt memories and the subjectivity of our own remembering.

Interests relate to how this subjectivity adds to our perception and interpretation of what we see within the photograph to the point at which we begin to create plausible and tangible narratives.

The creation of a narrative(s), which go beyond the actual content of each single photograph, with this ‘beyond’ shifting from the objective to the subjective to the point where all might access it.
