…a flat is reformed, someone died, people moved away, and traces of the former life are left, dumped or simply lost. death happens if there is no one who remembers! 

the offices of lost memory is created out of documents, mainly photographs, recovered from street- corners, garbage cans and flee markets.

an manifold portrait-gallery of strangers fills the walls of the exhibition-space, while empty frames structure it. the office of lost memory is equipped with the operators-desk: a digital camera, a computer, a printer.

the visitors are invited to adopt an unknown personality from the gallery, their pseudo grandfather, a forgotten lover from an earlier existence, the brother they never had. invent an identity and create a personal artificial memory!

a picture is taken and printed twice. one copy is for the visitor to be taken home, to keep memory, the second copy is forming part of the growing project-archive.

at the moment the archive comprises some 1000 images of lost memory throughout 120 years

of history of photography, and also more than 300 images of artificial memory.
