This book explores this process of memory development through its connection to narration and storytelling by presenting a series of recollections of shared experiences. Each event is retold from two different perspectives, which are made distinct by the different colors used in the text. The way in which a story is narrated by each person helps us understand each person’s perception of the event, and from that, the dependability and subjectivity of the memory.
The memories are typographically expressed, visualizing the way the story has been told. Overlapped words indicate repetition, stacks of curved lines communicate parts of the story that the other person did not mention, and sentences that are attached express speech. At the end of each story, I try to analyse the story as I see it, identifying different factors that could have affected the reconstruction of the memory.
