Unthought Known is a multimedia photographic series that investigates the psychological and physiological lived experience of traumatic memory. Within the framework of affect theory, memory, and psychoanalytical approaches to trauma, I focus on the ways in which the encounter with the traces of trauma create a dissociated and disembodied experience of the self, time and space. I construct spaces and non-narratives through illusion and figuration in order to reflect trauma’s resistance to representation and acknowledgement.
