The core message of the exhibition is "All memories are unchanging facts, yet within them, new meanings can be discovered." The beads, while remaining unchanged in their state, acquire new significance through the process of being filtered through various stages. This symbolizes the process of accepting and understanding memories, leading to enlightenment. The exhibition explores these general changes in perception, particularly focusing on the theme of loss and presenting its various stages.
In recent years, the global pandemic situation has inflicted a profound sense of loss upon people worldwide. This loss manifested in various forms, including health issues, the death of loved ones, and changes in daily life. These experiences have become a significant backdrop for the exhibition.
At the entrance, interactive monitors are set up where visitors can enter their personal experiences of loss. This digital interaction is the first step in transforming personal memories into a physical manifestation.
This exhibition transcends the mere narrative of loss, delving into the spectrum of human memories and the evolution of our perception of these experiences. Central to the exhibit is the process where visitors enter their memories through a web interface, and these memories materialize as beads that drop into a structure. These beads undergo 6 stages of refinement, ultimately leaving only 1 to 3 beads that are then presented back to the visitors.
1. Repulsion
This stage involves the refusal to accept initial pain or shock, represented by multiple layers of fabric with holes, through which beads escape, symbolizing gradual acceptance through denial.
2. Collision
In this stage, anger emerges as a natural response to loss, representing a phase where individuals feel lost and overwhelmed. The stage is symbolized by a maze-like structure, illustrating the confusion and collision that metaphorically represent the evolution and progression of the memory of loss.
3. Hypothesis
Characterized by 'what-ifs' and regrets, this stage is symbolized by bouncing beads that represent the chaotic and unpredictable nature of thoughts, highlighting how unexpected losses can happen.
The representation includes holes in the ground, symbolizing sinking into depression, with the filling of these holes by beads indicating emerging from this state.
This stage signifies accepting changed life realities, symbolized by curved walls catching beads to represent continual healing, not the conclusion of sorrow.
6. Meaning
The final stage is about recognizing new meanings in memories, represented by placing beads into bottles, symbolizing acceptance and personal reinterpretation of loss.
