Memory / 記憶
In the interview with the air raid survivor mentioned earlier, I asked them about "things that remain in their personal memories" and episodes related to them, in addition to places that remain in their memories. If the object itself actually existed, I just photographed it. If it did not exist for some reason, I reconstructed and recreated it, including my personal imagination, based on their memories of it. In the sense that I myself, who did not experience the air raid, added "reinterpretation of memory" to the nonexistent objects that air raid survivors had owned in the past, I hoped to examine how memories change through other people and generations.
さきほどの空襲体験者のインタビューの中で、記憶に留まっている場所以外にも「個人の記憶に留まっている物」や、それにまつわるエピソードも聞いた。その後に、実際にそのもの自体が存在するのならばそれ撮影させてもらい、もしもそれが何らかの理由で存在しない場合は、それに関する記憶を基に、私見の想像も含めて再構築、再現したものを撮影した。空襲体験者がかつて持っていた存在しない物を、空襲を体験していない私自身がそこに「記憶の再解釈」を加えるという意味に於いて、記憶が他者や世代を通して変化をしていく様も考察できればと思った。
