‘The events of adulthood give meaning to childhood screen memories, so the significance of the screen memory can be revealed’ – Sigmund Freud
Memories that pass from generation to generation often become blurred and frayed around the edges like an old photograph. A memory unspoken is lost forever….Opening a box, seeing an image, asking a question, wanting to hear the story.
The work of Adam Jaques looks at family history through the use of the photographic image; exploring how a moment in time captured on camera can act as a powerful trigger of memory or spark a personal narrative that provides a link to the past.
