eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.

eternal sunshine of the spotless mind is pretty much a perfect representation of how i envisage the loss and active deletion of memory. memories are hand in hand with dreams, the dependability of a "memory" i believe is almost exactly the same as a dream. how much do you remember of your dreams?

you know when you dream you're in, for example, school. the school is probably different in your mind than it actually is in 'reality', but it's only in retrospect you notice this. only upon waking do you notice how surreal that dream really was.






these first caps are examples of "conflicting" memories and/or dreams, where elements from several places are sewn into one. surreal only in retrospect.







a visual representation of the "deletion" of memory. this is perhaps where i'm most likely headed with my own project. were these small details ever remembered, or were they really deleted?





and finally, the representation of childhood memory. it's never that detailed. it's stripped down to vivid colour and geometrics. further proof, here is the "actuality" of the film which you can compare to the previous childhood visuals.



the scene is packed with details and, just, stuff. stuff that even the human brain cannot store fully.
