OverviewI am walking through a destitute, poverty-stricken, rotten building. Although people are living here, my aim is not to interact with the current tenants but rather to try and uncover the memories that are hidden in the façade, the plaster and the bricks of this building. I use my mobile phone to record what I see, but in my head, it is February 1945. I hear the sounds of war "" Travelling along a timeline of memory, Tanja Sakota takes us on a journey through South Africa, Germany, Poland and Bosnia/Herzegovina. Using a camera and short film format, Sakota hosts several workshops in different countries focused on interacting and engaging with remembering through different memory sites. The author sits at the core but the book is an interdisciplinary work shaped around films made by different workshop participants using film to access personal interpretations of space and place. Questions that underpin the uncovering of memories are: How does one use a camera to make the invisible visible? How does one remember events that one hasn’t necessarily experienced? How does one use film to interrogate the past from the future present? As the journey evolves, workshop participants and readers alike enter into a conversation around practice-based research, autoethnography and film.
