IRENE ROOS: Graduated Fine Arts from Tartu University. Lives and works in Tallinn.
PROJECT: Borrowed Memories (using previous works by Evelyn Müürsepp
TERRITORY: EESTI

Eku offered me her previous works, which were about her family's history, to
do something new with them. She was curious to see, how her art changes in
someone else's hands and she wanted to break the tabu about artworks.

Looking at her printed memory sheets I started to think, that memories are
something, that people like to share the most. But when you tell someone
something that has happened to you, the story starts to change into
something else. The listener's imagination starts to modify the story using
his/her own memories, feelings and imagination and so there will be created
another version of this story. And one memory, when you tell it to several
people, will enfold lots of new words, emotions and imaginations. While
wondering about that I started to make the cubes of wire that somehow should
imply to the invisible room of our mind and the boundaries of words and
imagination it has.
