Julia Schäfer – «Memory Gaps», 2019

Bibliothek Bümpliz, Bern

In the blink of an eye, the majority of humanity has become dependent on digital technologies: Tracking and analyzing our bodies are woven into our daily lives. Every presentation of data and every production of an image are pieces of a self-reflexive mosaic.

The presentation of data is rarely static - in the dynamic web, every load is an individual presentation of millions of pieces of information. Similar to loading a website, a new memory is created each time it is called up. The slightly altered snapshot is now embedded as real, only to be reconstructed the next time it is called up.

Memory Gaps explores memories with the help of photogrammetry (photogrammetry is a technique in which three-dimensional models are created from several photos). This technique, which is used to capture objects or spaces, is often used to create hyper-realistic, three-dimensional representations. It is used in fields such as topographical mapping, architecture, engineering, police investigations, cultural heritage and geology. Above all, however, the artist looks for imperfections, errors or empty holes to express the incompleteness of memory.
