1001 Accurate Memories

Plural Studio (2025)

1001 Accurate Memories represents a seven year odyssey birthed from an artist’s blood, guts and tears. A series of insights into class, disability and trauma are presented with drawings, sketches and photographs. These personal insights are then combined with the author’s experiences of living in Berlin and witnessing Germany’s development over the past 14 years. His investigation into traumatic memory leads him to propose that contemporary Germany, tied as it professes to be to a ‘memory culture’ changes to a self-understanding based around ‘traumatic memory culture’. In the sense that traumatic memory is greatly more accurate than memories of non-traumatic, day-to-day lived experience.

1001 Accurate Memories contains a large series of mark making exhibited during the artist’s solo show WORK TAP at Centrespace Gallery, Bristol, UK in 2024.
