The title of the exhibition is borrowed from W. B. Yeats idea of a reservoir of souls and images that functions meeting point between the living and the dead. Humans would have access to the great memory through dreamlife, either by dreaming or by inducing oneself into a hypnagogic state to listen to voices of the dead, who would share their wisdom, as well as giving advice about everyday life actions.
The great memory could be viewed as a metaphor or symbol for our relation to history; a constructed “space” where temporality is collapsed, and the private merges with the collective.
Exhibition, Flip projects, Naples, 4 November – 20 December 2023
