The Palace

In a memory palace, the practitioner imagines rooms, doors and corridors, each containing an image or a passage of text. There can be fragments of real places, or the palace can be a constructed fantasy. The remembering process is then performed as an imagined journey through this space.

The 70 photographs in the book were made at archaeological sites and historic buildings, dating from antiquity to the Middle Ages. However, they are not documentations of these places, but fragments of a stranger whole. Rather than capturing a specific chapter of history, they offer a meditation on the enduring presence of the past.
