Isabelle Carroll
Artist Statement
Photographs are reminders that sometimes ground, but sometimes confuse. Is it a memory of the moment? Or an invention? Is it ever really possible to revisit a memory, to relive a moment?
In Barbara Ess鈥� Tell Us Something About Yourself she prompts us to use the photograph to: Use the photograph to remember; use the photograph to forget.
Photographs are catalysts for memories, whether real or invented. Photographs of family, now distant, remind me of the connection we once had; photographs of myself remind me of the person I once was. The past is something projected onto me, projected outwards; as it fades, it fades into noise.
What does the absence of memory look like? What is it like to forget? The past is there, but it鈥檚 intangible; I am unable to feel or see it. It is white noise in the background 鈥� a constant frequency, a constant intensity 鈥� but impossible to grab ahold of; impossible to relive.
