Project Title:
Meet Me In Montgomery
Project Description:
The most beautiful thing about humankind is the shared experience of living among others.
We love. We feel. We hate. We regret. We hope.
Meet Me in Montgomery, by Caitlin Lu and Amanda Mundy, is a two-part project consisting of an installation and a publication. The work is based on the movie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which explores a couple who undergo a process to permanently delete memories from their past. This movie expands on theories about the idea of memory and its long-term connections to the emotional aspects and effects on the human body. We felt that it only made sense to highlight the underlying theme from this movie for our project: memory.
For us, the idea of memory felt nostalgic. And we knew that, based on the movie’s plot, we wanted to focus on exploring memories that were distant to us or not even our own. We went to the thrift store in search of nostalgic pieces given away by others and found a stack of old family photos. Altogether, the installation consists of all the photos being hung in a grid pattern, a long poster extending from the wall to the floor, a double layer mesh cloth, a typewriter, slides from another family purchased online, and a slide projector.
