The Lost Photographs of M- Maureen Anderson
"The Lost Photographs of M--" is an archive of photographs which I have taken or were taken of me or were entrusted to me and which were subsequently lost, stolen, never turned out, neglected, locked away in an inaccessible data bank, or of which no shutter was opened in the first place. It consists of 85 photographs so far. They are printed on A3 paper and given out as a blank piece of paper with a title, description and year of the image. Periodically, the data bank is checked. When an image is missing or taken out of the archive, a new title for the image is printed, creating a unique version of each photograph using the reproductive medium of the printer.
Fotoaufnahmen - Georgios Koumanidis
The following photographs, resulted after a systematic documentation of the Fachmodul meetings (Inventory & Display: Mnemosyne)
during the semester
Using two cameras, I have documentated every meeting, the camera a´ was attached to a tripod, in this case using normal lens and always from the same position, i have tooked wide shots, pictures of the general area. With the camera b´, which I held in hand, I wandered and photographed from different angles, having the opportunity for close-ups. After each meeting I archived the photo material in the computer by date and in relation to each camera. By the end of the documentation process, I chose some pictures, which I printed and rephotographed , focusing on points of interest, such as colour, or even light and shadow, contrasts.
The following photos, which I present here, are a selection of these.
For a further approach to the nature of this work I refer to Alleida Assman who writes:
"In particular, the individual, but generalizable artistic creation has an important part in the renewal of memory, by questioning the tightly drawn boundary between the Reminded and the Forgotten, which through surprising configurations repeatedly shifts."

Mnemosyne - Sylvia Langenbrinck
Warburg betitelt und widmet sein unvollendetes Werk der griechischen Schutzgöttin
des Gedächtnisses und der Erinnerungskunst.
Allerdings existiert in seinem Mnemosyne Bilderatlas
Keine Tafel über Mnemosyne.
Ich habe es mir zur Aufgabe gemacht die fehlende Tafel zu ergänzen.

Es gibt kaum etwas Materielles was uns in gleicher Weise verbindet aber dennoch erlaubt, Schlüsse auf den individuellen Lebensraum/gesellschaftlichen Stand zu ziehen.
