This research project explores themes of remembrance, place and identity fromudideas established by philosophers such as Cicero, Quintilian and Proust, andudscholars including Susan Stewart, Michael Perlman and Francis Yates.udThese perspectives are developed into a body of artwork created from miniaturesudand video that reference autobiographical memories of my father's stay andudpassing in a palliative care hospice. Particular narratives are translated through stilludand moving images by constructing a Memory Palace through a video installation.udThe display of artwork creates a mnemonic relationship that is supported by theudphilosophical perspectives and contentions established throughout theudinvestigation.udThe contributions of contemporary artists Ricky Swallow, Janet Cardiff, Jake andudDinos Chapman, John Timberlake, Thomas Hirschorn and Michael Ashkins areudexamined in relation to the nature of the project and its contribution toudcontemporary art.udThe outcomes of the project are two-fold. Firstly, the body of artwork willuddemonstrate a link between scale and memory. Secondly, the written exegesisudinforms the artwork by establishing historical and philosophical perspectivesudrelevant to the project.
