Out Of Memory Exception reflects on the fragile boundary between representation and remembrance, staging a suspended encounter with nature as mediated by the museum space. The animals, removed from their original habitats and preserved within artificial environments, appear as residual images—traces of life translated into static, constructed forms.
The photographs emphasize a condition of perceptual uncertainty: grain, chromatic instability, and visual noise dissolve the clarity of the scene, making it difficult to distinguish between presence and simulation. The dioramas, originally designed to restore an illusion of reality, instead reveal their own artifice, exposing a space where time is both frozen and continuously eroding.
Within this context, the act of seeing becomes an act of reconstruction. Memory does not operate as a stable archive but as a fragmented process, prone to loss, distortion, and repetition. The animals emerge as incomplete figures, partially absorbed by their surroundings, as if fading within the limits of perception itself.The title OutOfMemory Exception borrows from computational language, where it signals a system’s inability to allocate further memory. Here, it becomes a metaphor for a cognitive and perceptual threshold: a point at which the accumulation of images exceeds our capacity to retain meaning. What remains is a residual vision—unstable, degraded, and unresolved—where the distinction between reality, representation, and memory collapses.
