PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

In Memory Field, Benick recalls objects of consciousness as altered by the materials of space and time and examines the social and ontological imperatives of what it means to be a body at any given moment. A "travelogue of forgetting" in the Proustian sense, Benick's text embraces the impossibility of accurate remembering and concedes to the liminal overlap of fact and fiction. In distilled fractions of experience, Memory Field holds the place where life once was - in ruin, in metonym, in loss.
