Since the invention of photography, photographic images have been regarded as the best media to reflect external reality and carry memories. Photography seems to be a memorization technique; by way of seeing, the past is reproduced and represented in this very moment. Since people, things and events change with time, the existence of photographic images bears witness to their “once have been,” as if becoming the reincarnations of memories.

Currently showing at National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts in Taichung until February 17, 2013, this exhibition presents a total of six sets of works by six artists (

Themed as “Remaking Memories” the exhibition takes the multiple meanings of the word “remaking”—replicating, repeating, reconstructing, layering, and rewriting—to showcase how the artists intervene memories by using images to represent, simulate, reinvent and recreate memories in between the narrow openings of the interwoven dialogue between memories and images, as an attempt to explore possible looks of memories.
