Lost in mind

The possibility of losing my memories has always frightened me.

About this project

Lost in Mind is a photographic project centred on memory, loss and transformation.

The work consists of a selection of thirty-six images—like the frames of a photographic roll—whose original content has been digitally corrupted. Through the progressive destruction of visual information, photographs lose their descriptive function and become fragmented surfaces of colour, traces of images that can no longer be fully recovered.

Although the original subjects remain hidden, the viewer is often left with the sensation that something familiar still survives beneath the distortion. The images occupy an uncertain space between remembering and forgetting, where fragments persist while the whole becomes inaccessible.

The project later evolved into a participatory installation presented in the form of a photo album. Visitors were invited to take one of the photographs and, in exchange, leave behind a personal memory, a written thought or a small object.

Through this gesture, lost images were gradually replaced by new memories, transforming the work into an evolving archive of exchanges. What began as a reflection on forgetting became an exploration of how memories circulate, disappear and are continuously rebuilt through others.
