Places of the past
The phenomenon of infantile amnesia describes the inability of adults to recollect early episodic childhood memories. Although early memories are out-of-reach to adults, they have an important impact on the development. Another source of inspiration was the concept of false memory. False memory is a psychological phenomenon where a person evokes something that did not happen, or remembers it differently from the way it actually happened. While growing up as an adolescent I perceived the world around me in different perspectives. The main motive is always the tram. As a kid I always remembered the city as a place full of joy, uncertainty, excitement and danger. Whenever I got into the tram, I felt calmness because I knew this tram brought me home. I constructed the city as I remembered it as a kid. Important for me were objects such as the tram, the sound of the church bell and the park. These objects were the first things I recall when I think back to my early city life memories.
