SYNOPSIS

In December 2013, the fourth memory collection action entitled Found Portraits was carried out in the premises of the former border crossing between Nova Gorica and Gorizia. Citizens of both cities were invited to choose photos of unknown fellow citizens and talk about their memories of them.


Cross-Border Memory Collection Actions
The purpose of memory-contributed actions is to create an open archive that evolves over time and becomes a kind of gift that we give to the people of both cities for generations to come. Much like a family album, designed by its incompleteness, it is an archive of memory in a constant process of creation and rearticulation. Namely, Nova Gorica (Yugoslavia/Slovenia) and Gorizia (Italy) were separated not only by the boundaries between two countries and social systems but also by the boundaries between two comprehensions of the past. The border crossings that have separated us for years can now become meeting points that reflect the relationship between personal and collective memory.
Actions: Smuggler’s Confessional (2007), Memory Clinic (2009), Album of the City (2011), Memory Clinic Ljubljana (2012), Found Portraits (2013), Images of Oblivion (2014), Sewn Memories (2015), Portraits of Buildings (2015) and The Solver of Memory (2018). (Source: Anja Medved)
