MEMORIES
SHORT LIST
Statement
vestige
When all the kids had left the house, my parents started raising parakeets. Apparently, this is the fourth one. People live a long time. But I guess we gradually forget the faces we used to see every day when they are gone.

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
