neural receptors absorb and filter every event that is then stored in a branched way in different parts of the brain, dedicated to different categories of perceptions. the impulse that is single at the moment of its perception thus becomes a constellation of sparsed and interlaced connections of neurons. it becomes one again only when we remember or relive that same experience again.
defragmentation of memory is a work that reproduces a part of this cycle in the form of analogue sound-light macroscopy. a magnetic loop containing field recordings and audio-memories is modulated by light-sensitive filters that reacts on video recollections streamed on the televisions. the use of the magnetic tape is an oxymoron in this context being fixed and not variable, but essential for the reassembling of fragments of memory back into a whole, although this whole is always a bit different from the original.
it represents memory in its endless forms, that stem from the ceaseless cycle of construction and reconstruction of information in an ongoing dialogue between light and sound, two sides of the same reality.

the structure of a light platform expands according to the primary patterns of our universe. the motion of energy triggers innumerable processes, the basis of their functioning and assembling together written deep down in the ur-memory. basic forms of structure are being repeated on different levels of macro and micro cosmos. man can find them in the shapes of regular rectangles, atoms, sun systems, nebulas, clouds, golden ratio, molecules, roots, canopies, blood circulatory systems, electrons, spirals, tissues, mosses, as well as with Fibonacci, Euclides, Petrie … pieces of mirrors as fragments of information are the building blocks of the mosaic of the core that carries the memory and reflects it in the shape of complex visual codes. branched-out connections bettween light and shadows in the installation weave a dynamic patttern of neurons where memories of people feed, travel, mix and fade. flashes in the mirrors represent the flashes of unpredictable movement and of the clamping of energy into the space and time.
