GLITCHING THE PAST

Photography & Forgetting

Glitching the Past began with my curiosity about memory, why some moments stay vivid while others fade. Looking into my own past, I realized photographs don’t simply preserve memory; they reshape it. Each image becomes a small disruption, a glitch that alters what we think we remember.

This exhibition grows out of conversations with 30 people reflecting on their memories and the role photography plays in shaping them. For some, photographs anchor memory; for others, they replace it entirely. The work brings together video, portraits, and excerpts from these conversations to form a shifting archive where memories flicker rather than settle.

The exhibition embraces instability, forgetting, and distortion as part of how memory works. Photography freezes time, but in doing so, it changes it, turning lived experience into a fixed frame that continues to rewrite our past.
