Museo de Memorias Inconstantes

La Casa Encendida presents an exhibition project that reflects on the dynamic nature of memory through fifteen photographic works.

La Casa Encendida hosts this proposal that arises from the collaboration between the Madrid cultural centre, the Museum of the University of Navarra and the Fundación Palazuelo. Visitors tour the rooms to contemplate fifteen pieces belonging to the Generaciones Collection of the Fundación Montemadrid, in an approach that addresses memory as an exercise in personal rewriting of the past.

The display is structured around literary texts that serve to emphasise memory as a creative activity, taking as a conceptual reference the verses of a poem by Jorge Luis Borges, as well as the contributions of Mark Twain and Vladimir Nabokov. The visit allows visitors to examine fragments of experiences converted into visual representations, under the supervision of curators Angie Grijalva, ShaLynne Ouellette and Elena Stanley Tobin. It is designed for an audience interested in contemporary photographic creation and reflections surrounding identity and the archive.
