Emma Kay Worldview (1999) Tate

How memory functions and selective memory is the theme Emma Kay explores in her work. In Worldview she tries to write down the history of the world using only her own memories as a reference.

This work made me realize that everyone's thoughts and memories are different, and I need to dig deeper into people's memories of the things they once owned. Maybe the same item brings different emotional memories to different people. This is really a very interesting thing.
