Moments of my father, my mother and me
Screenshot of a pdf document
The screenshot shows a part of the pdf, the lower part where the timelines of the father are recorded were cut off
The pdf was created from an exploration of the timelines of the father, the mother and the artist researcher:
What political and social events and objects of childhood and adolescence do you remember? What do you think many people of your generation experienced in Vienna?
The pdf with the list was created at home in the second lab on the topic of fathers after an interview with the father and mother of the artist researcher(s).
The screenshot first shows the list of the father, then the mother and then the shared memories.
The list emerged from our joint work on memories and objects in the 90s/2000s in Vienna. I then thought I could ask my parents as well.
What events do we remember from a certain period of our biography?
Are they political, cultural, social or other events?
Which objects do we remember specifically from this period?
Do these objects still exist today?
Which of these events is a collective event for us subjectively?
What aspects of social class, age, place or time do we subjectively associate with it?
