The project combines photographs with scans of papers and other items found in her apartment as well as reproduced pages from a standard test given to assess the various stages of Dementia. The project examines identity’s relationship to memory and the absurdity of attempting photographic preservation of reality. It is presented as an archive in book form, referencing Shirley’s own archive of hug lists she made after being diagnosed with Dementia.sneak peak at a new publication: Working Memory, 2012
