About my work: THE MEMOSEUM

Dis- remembering...
In 100 years’ time, what is it about an iron that we’ll find
most interesting? Is it the material it is made from? Its shape?
Its use? Time shifts the way in which we perceive things,
assigning changing significance to them and events.

In his compilation of drawings and image material,
Nikolaus Gansterer refers to hidden or forgotten moments of
meaning relating to selected collection objects. Each page of
his Memoseum represents a new narrative that opens up a
parallel space of possibility for the way in which things are
interpreted. Gansterer adopts different approaches, from the
historical to the history of ideas, from the formal or functional
to the associative, or the history of the institutions themselves.
In his synopsis the image constellations create a kaleidoscope
of meanings, symbolic of the course of time.
