The main topic of my most recent work is human memory. I began this topic research due to my strong desire to know who I am and what my purpose is in this life. I took my own most important memories as material on the basis of which I hoped to understand what emotions and images have affected me most strongly. In this way I hoped to mark out my main qualities and characteristics and so to understand what kind of a person I am. I found that the emotions that I feel when bringing these memories to mind are often deceptive. Here, deceptive means that the images and emotions I felt when recalling these memories are very independent, and only vaguely connected with my real memories. I found that my brain use semotions and images from my memories in order to reach a particular state of mind, and that the brain is constantly changing memories as it needs to in order to give them the ‘right’ form. Than I understood that I cannot use my ‘real’ memories as material for analyzing my true individuality. I therefore figured out a new system of creating memories by myself. I took some elements from my ‘real’ memories and mixed them. I also added some elements from my dreams and fantasies. For me, the most interesting thing about this manipulation is how the meaning of the elements of my memories changes when I put them into a new context. How the very important things might lose their importance, or how the less important elements become more important and interesting in a new context. By creating new memories I also wanted to emphasize the (d)elusiveness o f ‘ real ’ memories. Creating artificial memories has allowed me not to enter into a strong emotional dependence upon memory. This system helps me to support and gain increasing control over my consciousness. Thanks to it, I have managed to open up much more space in my memory, and the past has ceased to play such a strong role in my present life. So the method of replacing ‘real’ memories with new, invented memories has proved to be a peculiar way of clarifying consciousness and, as a result, of comprehending the true ‘ I’.
