- description: Whenever we remember an event, what we are really remembering is the last time we reconstructed the event in our mind, not the event itself. Somehow, in attempting to cast our mind back to what happened, we actually push the original event further away.
Our memory is like a modified recording device that is unable to stop recording. The magnetic strip records everything that enters the microphone, but each time we try to recover a past fragment, we can’t help recording over it, in an exercise of continual overwriting.
If we understand memory as a recording device – as an accumulation of infinite layers that accrue on top of the original memory – and our subjectivity as a force that distorts what we have lived, we call into question the concept of memory.
