Oriane Emery – Every stain carries a memory
My project Every stain carries a memory represents a laundry room featuring a passport photo of my biological father (with whom I did not grow up) and a fabric embroidered with carnation stitches, also known as Algerian Eye. This installation represents my interbreeding with Algerian culture, to which I was not invited. I sublimate it through dreams, memories, spiritual heritage and the laundry room as a popular place of transformation, purification and socially perceived as feminine. Capturing a suspended time, the fabric is eternally bathed in water that retains its memory, as opposed to washing it. The passport format of a photograph symbolizes identity. Here, it's frozen, the only link I share with him.
