“The Act of Remembering” is a film photography project designed to explore the relationship between physical locations and the fading memories people have from these liminal places in time. Inspired by entry level practice photograms produced in the University of South Dakota’s ART261 Photography I class, “The Act of Remembering” utilizes film prints made on an enlarger in combination with the layering effect of traditional photograms. By placing opaque objects such as architectural miniatures of people on top of the light-sensitive paper before creating a print, their individual silhouettes can be juxtaposed within already existing scenes previously shot on film. The effect can be described as a realistic yet surreal landscape filled with ghostly figures; the figments of memories long gone. Through their placement and body language, a type of pseudo-narrative can be created without the use of words. The viewer is invited to project their personal experiences onto these blank figures from the past, in essence remembering through art a scene which may not even be real. In short, The Act of Remembering is an attempt to capture the feeling of returning to a hazy memory. The showcase is designed to invite viewers into the attempt of remembrance, as they investigate the works for signs of the figures’ identities.
