Installation Room of the Museum of Forgetting

Memory, recollection, and reminder are concepts that play a key role in both social communication and personal experience. In this work, Alexey and Dasha focus on the opposite concept — forgetting. The installation’s genre framework resembles that of a themed museum or archive. The authors create a room belonging to a fictional Museum of Forgetting, dedicated specifically to the forgetting of dreams.

Creators: Alexey Shmurak, Dasha Podoltseva
