Souvenir
[2020]

VR installation with Caio Vita for Museumnacht 010 at Goethe institut. Made possible by CBK Rotterdam.

Moving through Europe, the tourist collects objects that symbolize their experience. Beyond the purchase this item transforms into a valuable possession and future memory.

Back at home all the collectables are put on display. Iconic symbols used over and over, creating a copy of a stereotype. Recycled to a new understanding, assigned new meanings, beyond personal memory, these objects form an collective idea of Europe.
