Erasure
.
single channel video, 10.05 min
ERASURE meditates on absence and the unmaking of meaning, referencing the historical violence of book burning and inviting reflection on the vulnerability of knowledge and collective memory.
ERASURE engages with the enduring legacy of book burning as both a historical act of censorship and a symbolic unmaking of meaning. The work invokes absence through the ritual destruction of books, referencing centuries of attempts to suppress, silence and erase.
Within the context of the exhibition, ERASURE is less a narrative than a space for reflection on what is lost when ideas are systematically obliterated. It is a meditation on the vulnerability of knowledge, the persistence of forgetting, and the silent violence inherent in acts of erasure.
