Amnesia Hat

"I have the pictures, they have become my memory. But I think to myself: if you'd gone there without a camera, you would remember more."

--Wim Wenders, from The Logic of Things

Amnesia Hat is a handmade, limited-edition photobook series, roughly chronological but adhering more to dream logic than the passage of time.

Memories change: people, objects and landscapes forget where they came from. The photographs we have both reveal and conceal, emphasizing some recollections while covering others. The story of what happened and what might have happened come to inhabit the same space.


--Kenneth Traynor
