Room Within a Room: Mid-Residency Exhibition by Chelly Jin
Room Within a Room, a multimedia live performance and installation, begins with a simple act: remembering and re-membering. Drawing from childhood photographs, digital landscapes of Google Maps, recomposed floor plans of childhood homes and autobiographical memory indexing, the work explores memory as an archive in flux. Through installation and immersive live performance, the project asks: how or where is memory stored when our tools for remembering — from muscle to machine — begin to degrade? Over a yearlong process of recollection, Room Within a Room unfolds as both an interrogation of the cultural belief in digital permanence and a tender methodology of reminiscence; examining memory recall and the images reconstructed in its wake.
