Exhibition view, main gallery. About Forgetting is a montage film that mixes still images and live film, drawing, photography, and animation with a personal narrative. It is a respons to a documentary made by a film student in 2003 (Glemte minner, by Yvonne Thommasen), about the relationship between my parents, at a time when my father was in the final stages of dementia.
