Memory Exchange SquareS (MESS) explores my neighbourhood’s memories through collection of objects found on sidewalks. Discarded by their original owners, objects are forgotten until a bystander takes them to their new life. I use them as a time-ready-made commodities without changing any traces that the passage of time has inflicted, exploring the possibility of creating a new meaning from the dilapidated and sometimes unpleasant appearance of these witnesses of history. In their rejection I try to find new context and possible interpretations between reality and fiction – a (new) memory.
