‘Memory Reconstruction’ exhibits the artworks of the fourth-year students of Art Theory Major, Faculty of Painting Sculpture and Graphic Arts, Silpakorn University. It explores the procedure of how personal prejudice affects the way each mind reconstructs memories through contemporary discussion. Memory is a fundamental part of human consciousness. It serves as a gateway to understanding individual identity, collective heritage, and the ever-changing nature of reality.

Memories are not the exact duplication of reality. They can be distorted by the perceiver’s limited viewpoint, bias, or understanding of the event during the time it happened or after it had passed. Time can also wash away finer details, leaving only the blurry traces of what they once were. These factors are why the so-called truth one remembers might differ from the truth that happened and can still be changed in different contexts. This alteration happens to every single memory. Time will widen the gap between the picture of the past and the present. Thus, the absolute truth will fade, and in its place, leave the image we foolishly think would perfectly overlap the original.

Paintings, sculptures, installation art, and sound art in this exhibition are the exploration of the thought process before the images of alleged truth fade away. Presenting the experiences of each artist’s mind during the reconstruction of their memories, the abstract process is brought to the real world in the form of these artworks. This exhibition will provoke the audience to observe their perception of reality and reexamine the fragility of memory.
