Plundering Through the Pond of Perplexing Memory Soup

The MNG's first LRT exhibition will be "Plundering Through the Pond of Perplexing Memory Soup" by Matthew Springer.

This series of works by Matthew Springer (BDes ‘20, Photography) explores our mind’s relationship in managing memories and how they degrade or become recontextualized throughout time.

All images are abstract fractions of positive and negative distorted memories collected over the years. “Infinity Clocks” are placed throughout the works as markers of different periods of time that start to meld together over time past. Obscured with multiple arms, they show that our perceptions of memories are skewed as time progresses. Some memories become so recessed in our minds that we fill in new details that never existed. It may even seem like it was all just a dream.
