Ocularium: Laena Wilder on Memory and the Photographic Process

LAENA WILDER: OCULARIUM

Photographer Laena Wilder discusses memory and it's role in photography

Chambers of recall exist

within each person. Like the dark interior of a camera, our minds collect and

store sensual information. As light touches silver coated film, so do moments

in time etch themselves upon our psyches…

…However, unlike a photographic negative whose image is stable,

self-reflection reveals an ever-changing landscape. Accuracy is lost. We fall

prey to imagination, fragmentation and distortion. We are often comforted by

the apparition of what was.
