TRYING TO REMEMBER BEING BORN
Trying to Remember Being Born is a two-room installation that explores the uncanny friction between personal memory, technological archives, and medical history, sparked by a the Hi8 videotape of the artist’s birth. By intertwining familial narratives of dementia and hidden medical traumas with broader histories of systemic violence against women's bodies, the exhibition transforms the intimacy of the womb into a clinical, Lynchian spectacle that ultimately embraces forgetting as a form of liberation.
