Ephemeral Memory
Stills of video installation for Eszter Andrádi's exhibition at 2B Gallery, Budapest
Reflecting on the tradition of storytelling, which is a key element in Judaism, the exhibition aims to use current technologies to bring the archival images to life, thus moving them out of their static state; to bring the partially or completely lost stories of the photographs to life with fictional stories. The video installation by performance artist Eszter Andrádi responds to this by using free association-based storytelling, using archive material to invite the past into the present, creating an alternative narrative and fictional planes of space and time.
