Statement
Beside the River of Lethe
"Time flies, and there was nothing left of those days. I recall the years gone by. As if through a dusty glass, the past can only be seen, not touched. Everything I see is a blur, like an illusion." Wong Kar Wai, from "The Year of the Flower"

Jury selection
Judged by Tim Barber:
Inspired by the Grand Prix, Takahashi Miki’s work, I thought it would be fun and interesting to make a compilation of the widely diverse and eclectic work submitted for this contest. When edited and organized, the “memory” submissions, sent in from dozens of artists, become a kind of collective-memory-collage, a dream sequence of disparate clues from a kaleidoscopic narrative.
* This work was included in a curated collection of works selected by the judge Tim Barber from a number of submitted works. See the collection
