“Collective memory is expressed and transmitted through culture and art, where it is encoded anew each time by those who create, and is deciphered and interpreted by those who receive it - those who watch, experience and participate. Memory is not a static object, it is dynamic, changing, disappearing, reappearing, renewing, taking on new forms, capable of revealing new layers of memories concealed by time. It is not always a pleasant experience, sometimes it is just too painful, and it can be repressed, displaced, devalued. It can materialise through art. The viewers of this work are met with signs that are more or less recognisable by collective memory, and therefore can be interpreted in their own way. At the same time, they are encouraged to search for the untouched layers of memory within themselves, to look for what has been displaced and hidden, and to remember again, because it is memory that can become a support or a warning for decision-making and for the choice of whether to take action today.”
