Memory (2020)
From Siglio Press, a new publication of Mayer’s 1971 project Memory, that “brings together the full sequence of images and text for the first time in book form, making space for a work that has been legendary but mostly invisible.”
In July 1971, Mayer began experimenting with her memory. She shot a roll of 35mm film each day, and kept a rigorous daily journal. The project resulted in a staggering total of 1,100 photographs and nearly six hours of recorded poetry. In February 1972, Memory was shown at 98 Greene Street, an art and performance space in New York City. Since the original showing, Memory has been exhibited in various condensed forms, but never before in a full-color edition of full text and photographs.
