One Man's Land

About fragments that remain, transform and are lost in the memory.

Our perception of reality is merely the sum of our experiences. Every day we gain new impressions that nest themselves in our brain. However, our memory is not a film that can be played at will; we arrange, rearrange, preserve, forget and add at random. Our head contains a wild collection of memories – real, fictional or adapted – that are welded together into a new story. Noorderlicht brings together three of these stories in One Man’s Land, an exhibition as personal as it is poetic. Three talented photographers display an intriguing edit of the film in their heads – the land into which only they are admitted.
