ROCKFLUD
ROCKFLUID is based on a collaboration between artist Elena Cologni and Psychologist Dr Lisa Saksida, Department of Experimental Psychology, Cambridge University. Memory, perception and place are the elements around which the project is built, also by considering “Travelling as a way to produce forms".
In the project, memory is considered in its 'fluid' and 'solid' states, as Dr Saksida suggests referring to the recollection of events. Memory in its archival state would be solid, and, when in the process of resurfacing would be fluid.
In this sense this transitional quality of memory can be a metaphor of Cologni's way of working, as she considers art in a similar way, neither only matter related, nor only ephemeral: its manifestations can vary and feed into each other.
In ‘RockFluid’ the artistic activities weave the practice of recollection by individuals into
the urban context, where spaces are reactivated. Map-based drawings are used as the basis for a series of urban interventions and a webcast. Ultimately, by sharing the creative process through workshops and interventions it aims at looking at how places influence the way we remember and who we are, thus mapping a psycho-geography.
