COLLECTIVE MEMORY

by KOTE


By Peter Gehrman, Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design

 

 

The memories of you and I are given a physical

meaning in the building of society.

 

Our personal history - all the changes,

the details, the nonsense and the essentials,

they all become integrated into our

surroundings.

 

They become the elements that keep up the structure.

Pillars, tiles, banisters, bricks, door handles, frames.

 

Our collective memory.
