Memory Palace

Memory Palace explores the intricate relationship between memory and storytelling, moving beyond traditional narrative structures to create an immersive and participatory experience. Having worked in documentary filmmaking, I became disillusioned with the constraints of conventional storytelling, where overused tropes and stereotypes lead to passive engagement. I believe that the over-saturation of familiar narratives has left audiences detached, unconsciously following a path they already know without truly interacting with the story.

In Memory Palace, I wanted to disrupt this pattern by deconstructing memory itself. My goal is to allow audiences to experience memory as fluid, fragmented, and ever-shifting, much like how we recall our own lives. The installation invites participants to walk through layers of projected images, where light, movement, and space reflect how memories dissolve and reappear—never stable or predictable.

By introducing physical space and removing clear narrative structures, the viewer is free to wander, interpret, and interact with the imagery in a personal way, mirroring how we process our past and imagine our future. Memory, like storytelling, is subjective and unfixed, refracting through our minds and experiences.
