The hygiene of memory
Door Christophe Muylaert, 2025
40cm x 50cm
Within a rigid 3D printed, black frame filled with resin, a tuft of artificial pubic hair is preserved. Along the lower edge, a straight line of artificial teeth is aligned, cold and repetitive. These elements evoke intimacy, the body, and memory, yet their artificiality undermines their authenticity. The work reflects on how memory is “hygienized”: emotion and corporeality are reduced to objects, preserved as specimens in a clinical archive. A tension emerges between intimacy and distance, relic and reproduction, life and simulation.
