well
Let me start where…
I don’t like to tell a story or
em… show a bunch of my old files and say what stories are behind them
during the time when the discussion about this project has begun,
there was another thing that was interesting for me, I rather talk about that
the momentum which is common about all these remembering
that weird moment when you suddenly feel like this has happened sometime before
an incident that maybe 2, 5 or 10 years ago may have happened in one’s life,
but after that there has been no referring to it
or maybe it has been a long time since you forgot about it
and starting a conversation, proposing of a question, seeing an image, being present in a location
or listening to a specific music that in that specific moment was playing
all of a sudden feels like a trigger, a trigger to your memory
and it feels like two hands are struggling with the layers of your memory
layers of your brain and are pulling out that image out
or maybe… I don’t know
that they are removing it’s shell and letting the memory appear again
and it’s a wonder
when it’s happening, it’s not you searching for recreating that image or remembering that memory,
it’s the memory itself floating automatically in your head
and it’s a wonder because, when you are talking about it for someone in that moment,
you feel like you are describing it though you are not thinking about it
and it’s like as you are speaking the memory keeps being reminded by itself
it’s a weird feeling they call it Nostalgic
for me experiencing these moments in these reminding scenes are more interesting
a weird feeling that even could be dangerous
I personally rather not to browse into my past
I rather keeping the good parts rather going to the dark and dislikable parts
this is why I say these moments could sometimes become dangerous
this is why some songs, some photos, some images can be considered as dangerous songs, photos and images
and that is because they can be reminders of things that
suddenly …
remind you of things that you don’t want to be reminded about
you don’t want to go back to that part
you don’t want to have your head involved with it
maybe this is why often don’t keep my files from the past
em…
I usually save them on a hard disk, CD or DVD for them to just be there
so that they won’t be erased totally. Because anyway, they are pieces of my past
but I won’t keep them close to reach
I rather not to see them accidentally
so they don’t remind me many of images
it’s a weird feeling
this sudden moment of reminding of moments, moments which you that they never exist anymore
you didn’t think that they ever have existed, but suddenly you will be reminded that: yes, there were such things too
maybe this is the reason why I told you I like the title “The Delicate Line” for this project
because,
it’s experiencing this moment is exactly like
there is a delicate line between your current memory
and the buried part
and the smallest flip to this line
cause the memory to bloom again
and float in your head
