The Strange Quiet of Things Misplaced
The Strange Quiet of Things Misplaced deals with the memory and
the unreliability of our recollections.
Memory is a mystery. We imagine it as being some sort of a cupboard
where things are stored and pulled out when needed. But sometimes
things are misplaced and it's only then, when our memory failed
us that we brood over its nature. We ask ourselves how could we
forget...?
The passing of time and current circumstances - perceived and
real - have a bearing on memory. Our recollections are often incomplete.
Can we ever be sure that they are accurate? Can we be sure that
it's really the same memory we were missing?
