Proust Was A Neuroscientist by
Jonah Lehrer

       "Albertine’s [his lover] beauty marks migrate from from her chin to her lip to a bit of cheekbone just below her eye… Proust wants us to know that we will never know where Albertine’s beauty mark really is. ... The more you remember something, the less accurate it becomes… it reveals memory as a ceaseless process, not a repository of inert information… The memory is altered in the absence of the original stimulus, becoming less about what you remember and more about you."

A found image of a lost relative. Is it her I remember, or the image of her? Photography, instead of being in the service of memory, might actually be in the service of forgetting.

I find CMYK separation is ike memory. Stand back and you can see the whole picture; but move in and try and focus on any detail and the image disappears, ungraspable.
