The work explores considerations of the meaning behind representation and the ambiguous nature of memory, triggered by everyday encounters with ordinary ob - jects of Greek culture on one hand, and a son on the other. Papadimitriou & Ziras’ images are looking to connect and manipulate objects and body. The relation of the two is seen through an ambiguous close up image, a detail, in an effort to remove any mnemonic familiarity of the viewer. Liddinton identifies a similarity in photos of a sculpture of his son created through memory. The staid clay in the images reveals a similar personal, private and potentially vulnerable state. Together the artists explore personal memory and shared memory within a public space (Saskatoon) that is foreign to them.
