“Memoria Edetica” – An Exhibit of Photographs on Silk by Member Charles Anselmo

These images by member (and Cuba Workshop leader) Charles Anselmo, can best be described in his own words:

"Engaging the complexities of urban context, Memoria Eidética explores a visceral intersection of form, process and memory in specifically social terms. Utilizing a dichotomy of visual states through the use of translucent silk photographic prints which build to the scale of a physical place, these wall-sized images present an interplay between the transcendent ideality of city design, and the empirical reality later processed through actual community and the multi-faceted narratives of social life.

The semi-transparent silk medium of the images suggest an interpretation of the city's structural history and the formation of a newly emergent urban habitat. Perception changes memory as we deconstruct the past, and within this process the relevance of time is discretely conveyed by the gently kinetic nature of silk, resonant with a sense of history and transience, the parameters of memory and the dynamism of change."
