Place as Matter - Rejmyre, Sweden 2009

The Camper has, for me and as the final work come to symbolize the core of rejmyre matters workshop.
It’s about the idea of memory as a place and how to interact in other people’s memory as to create a fictive place.
I’m telling a story about our great camp-experience for a group of people where I’ve already giving them a memory each that im weaving into the story. Does the story become real in the recognition of fragments in the story?
Do I create a place inside the groups memory?
Can that place be real?
