‘Visual Memory’ was exhibit as part of the group exhibition ‘Someone, I tell, will remember us’, Binyamin Gallery, Tel Aviv.
From the text of Iris Pshedezki, the curator of the exhibition:
Roni Ben Porat asks how we remember space. She explores the change that takes place in the transition between the physical, concrete location and its representation in consciousness. The memory map is spread out on a black rectangle enclosed on the wall with a composition of wooden boards. Some are painted black, some are exposed with engravings of geometric and architectural shapes. The exposed wood glows from the black window and creates a positive-negative relationship between the panels, as a kind of photographic image. Memory is selective, it chooses for us certain details and others omit. The selection makes the places from public to personal. To remember a place we disassemble, change it and thus understand and internalize it. The new space created on the wall cannot be identified, from different angles, it is possible to see different compositions and it contains possibilities for many places. "
