What kind of memories and experiences can be contained in an object?

 

I have studied objects as vessels for memory. How you through objects are reminded of a person, an event or a particular story. Based on five Swedes who have come to the country as refugees, I have studied the objects they brought with them and created five illustrated interpretations of their memories of origin, family and identity.

 

Madeleines is my graduation project from Beckmans College of Design. Shown at Beckmans Graduation Exhibition in May 2014. It consists of five stories, printed fabrics, photo boxes, a sound installation and foldable posters.
