nostalgia memoir

‘nostalgia memoir’ visually interprets and explores the memories and emotions evoked by sensory experiences. The project is grounded in the ‘Proust phenomenon’, where sensory elements such as music (auditory), scent (olfactory), and taste (gustatory) trigger specific memories and emotions.

It is structured in three parts: a private section based on the author’s personal experiences, a collective section designed to resonate with the viewer, and a notion section that defines and contextualises these experiences. Together, they follow the cyclical flow of sensation, memory, and emotion.

The book is designed in a reversible format, allowing the viewer to start from either side. This structure removes the distinction between front and back, reflecting the idea of shared empathy and the fluid nature of individual experience.

〈nostalgia memoir〉는 감각이 불러내는 기억과 감정을 시각적으로 해석하고 탐구합니다. 이 프로젝트는 음악(청각), 냄새(후각), 맛(미각) 같은 감각요소가 특정 기억과 감정을 불러일으키는 ‘프루스트 현상‘에 정의를 둡니다. 저자 개인 경험의 ‘private‘ 파트와 독자와 공감할 수 있는 ‘collective‘파트로 나뉘어 감각+기억+감정의 순환 구조를 따라갑니다.
