The False Memory Archive : AR Hopwood

11 Jun-3 Aug 2014

Freud Museum London
London NW3 5SX

Overview

Based upon fascinating scientific research that demonstrates how susceptible we are to false memories, AR Hopwood’s False Memory Archive features artworks and an ever-expanding collection of vivid personal accounts of things that never really happened. Including a display of manipulated photographs of UFO sightings and a collaboration with a fictional security guard, Hopwood’s work evocatively reflects the way we creatively reconstruct our sense of the past, while providing insight into the often humorous, obscure and uncomfortable things people have misremembered.
