as an archive of one’s own suppressed feelings of belongings. Documentation,
evidence, neutrality, trace, authenticity, legality, and knowledge production
regarding own subject as an objective desire.
No more can I ignore the dark events flowing down from
history to the present. I am a part of the occurrences around me. Art has never
been an isolated event for me, separated from my little histories and movements
that I have encountered and envisaged. For me home is not a permanent address,
it is movable. If I want to revisit all places or remember all different experiences
in my life, then I think I can build a new home. But is it possible? How can I
collect all those memories and archive them on one surface. Every view, which I
can hardly see, is a one sided perspective…
In this file, I documented different
found and forgotten objects, letters, images and other credentials in an effort
to remember home. Spurred by this process, I rekindled various correspondences,
collected, concocted stories through conversations, letters and objects along
with fake or invented documents, and juxtaposed them with each in an effort to
allow multiple narratives to emerge. This part evidence file, part photo album,
part autobiography was my effort to destabilize the notions of singularity and
chronology in documentation.
