The memories they carry for us , 2024
This work focuses on the dining table experience as an important element to the mundane routine. Allowing it to be a place for conversation and sharing knower a safe space, in this work Felixe brings it back to the childhood memories surrounding this setting.
The shadows revealed bring out an organic unique presence to each of the mass-produced pieces, which Felixe parallels to the uniqueness these objects may hold due to the connection we have with them through repetitive interactions and shares memories. Felixe observed that there is an element of care that develops between objects and human interactions due to the test of time, and how objects we grew up with may hold our childhood memories tapping into the depth of the subconscious.
These ideas live in conversation with the Japanese folklore tale of Tukumogami, in which after having served their owners for over 100 years objects receive souls, becoming self-aware and capable of causing mischief. The idea that interacting with these objects for so long allows them to become sentient and to hold their own spirits is something Felixe reveals through this work, giving them a possible form or visualisation through the diffraction of light.
Through this immersive installations Felixe aims to bring back within us the child intuition of discovery, dreaming and exploration allowing for a meditative space to contemplate memories and our connections to household objects.
