Extended Memory II
View through Europeana Collections
Lena Athanasopoulou tests the photographic memory of the landscape, in the series Extended Memory. She sets her lens against not actual landscapes, but against factory-produced images of a fairy-tale and idealised nature, found in one-pound shops around London. And so, landscapes emerge that are uncanny, eerie, as much as magical. Her intention is to make us realise how different our gaze and memory can be depending on where, when and how we stand in relation to something we long for - even if we have never seen it.
