Invisible archive
series, 8 frames, plastic, 6pcs 13x18 cm, 2pcs 10x12 cm, 2025
The project examines the fragility of family ties, memories and personal history in times of crisis. The artist engraves linear representations of people from the family archive in transparent white plastic. White on white creates a state of semi-presence - these images exist, but are almost invisible.
The work thematises the concept of presence through absence: physically separated periods of life or circumstances continue to exist as long as the memory of them is alive, and at the same time the project is an act of archival work - a return to photographs as traces that form identity. It is an attempt to capture what is slipping away: Stories without a physical presence and the longing for reunion.
Invisible Archive speaks not only about memory and belonging, but also about the fear of losing one's own history.
The series was presented at the exhibition ‘Transitus’, Hotel Continental - Art Space in Exile. Berlin, Germany
