Staging Memory, 2000

Materials: Wood, glass, aquarium, photo slides, video monitor 
Exhibition: Montreal Holocaust Memorial Centre, Montreal, Quebec
Curator: Dr. Loren Lerner

The Staging Memory exhibition at the Montreal Holocaust Memorial Centre, consists of a wooden platform with 3 wood and glass display cases containing an aquarium with a single goldfish, slides with selected images of a wedding and a video of a newborn sleeping baby. The fish is alive and speaks of the present; the wedding slides are about the past and the sleeping baby is the future. In order to properly see the contents of the cases, the viewer must step onto the platform. In this way, the viewer is implicated as witness to the staging of these past and present moments in time. We stage our memories through photos and videos, marking significant or banal moments in our lives and becoming actors in our own reality television series.
