We can't go back to the past, yet we can only let memories flow in our blood vessels.
BOOK DESIGN
We tend to believe our memory indeed exists, while it’s actually just a story compiled by the brain according to our experience, and it will be continuously created, updated, and rewritten by the complex mentality mechanism, revealing the fluidity of memory. Since the past memory, as a thinking mode, has shaped our present being, our cognition of memory will also play a part in our future.
This book aims to demonstrate the interlaced memory fragments and chains anywhere and anytime, as well as explore the fluidity state of memory through the memory state appearing on a picture of a non-linear time period.
BOOKMARK
Bookmarks, as the more precise memory points, can appear in different positions of the book, which means that memory is fluid. The amount of information on each bookmark represents the clarity of memory.
The copy on the last page of the book quotes Bolin Pan's verse.
MEMORY PUZZLE
In this visual experiment, I sorted out some fragmented memories, summarized three memory fragments, and made them into a puzzle with multiple combinations. The changing position of the puzzle leads to a change in the story, which shows that memory is subjective and fluid.
