Through paired themes of memory and forgetting, segregation and migration, perpetrators and victims, Tanja Sakota travels along a timeline of memory as she takes us on a journey through South Africa, Germany, Poland and Bosnia/Herzegovina. Using a camera and short film techniques she hosts several workshops focused on interacting and engaging with remembering through different memory sites. The author sits as the core but the book is shaped around films made by different participants using the camera to access and unveil personal interpretations of space and place. Questions that underpin the uncovering of memories are: How does one use a camera to access invisible memories hidden within sites? How does one remember events that one hasn't necessarily experienced? How does one use film to interrogate the past from the future present?--p.4 of cover.
