A visit to the sweet local museum set me thinking
about history, myth and memory. I heard a talk by Christian Boltanski about how few of us are remembered once two
generations have passed away. We might have memories of our Grandparents but
few will remember their Great Grandparents. What struck me as I peered at the
exhibits with their explanatory labels was how fragmentation challenges history
and memory. What do those fragments really tell us set alongside each other,
creating their own little dialogues? I rather like the possibility of the
telling of a different story. A co-mingling of fact and fiction, the tales of
the in-between spaces.
