Second viewing.

In recent years, l’ve become somewhat obsessed with memory as a concept, and art-as-memory is a component of that obsession. When you convert memory into art, you freeze it in time and thereafter you can engage with it as an artifact of having previously engaged with the memory… but you of course form new memories of engaging with the artifact. These two films are perhaps my favourite illustrations of this principle.
