An Audiovisual Investigation into Capturing and Creating a Shared Memory Experience
Sophie Jackson’s research investigates ‘memory moments’ through the capture and creation of shared memory experience. It utilizes school reports as artefacts to trigger central memory, documented through a process of participant interviews forming the basis of a series of individual films. In doing so, it explores whether the words and textures of the artefacts (the reports), integrated with the personal recollections and responses captured on film as participants read their reports for the first time in many years, can generate a felt or shared memory experience with the viewer. These reflections shed light not only on the impact of practice-led processes on invoking memory and a shared experience, but also highlight long term issues related to the assessment processes within the education.
