Series of paintings: Erroneous Narrations | Parallel events

The project “Erroneous Narrations | Parallel Events” concerns autobiographical events stored in memory, and relations between them. The aim, however, is not to realistically reproduce specific situations from the past, but to create a new narrative, an alternative reality, using and mixing elements of events recorded in photographs that are different in time and space. Removing certain fragments from the context and then putting them together on one level leads to new dependencies and, in a sense, to a change in time and space in which they occur. These events therefore become multilayered, are being reformulated and come into play with each other. On the one hand, it is an attempt to redefine past episodes and, on the other hand, to create a parallel world, a different version of events, which could have happened in different circumstances or, as it were, at the same time. Taking up this topic is an attempt to find my own truth in the structure of events and to immerse myself in the process of distorting reality, which is constantly taking place anew.
Distortions in the memory of events take place daily and continuously, and the result is revealed whenever we try to recall a given event. In cognitive psychology, such distortions are called errors, although they are said to have a beneficial effect on our cognitive system. Therefore, error is not necessarily a pejorative concept here, but it is nevertheless assumed to exist in opposition to the truth. However, as soon as we go beyond the discourse of cognitive psychology, it turns out that truth is very relative and subjective, and it is difficult to determine what should be considered the right version of events. Perhaps there is no such version. The title of the project expresses this doubt and refers to the question whether the result of a distorting activity should actually be described as an error, or whether it is simply a new, parallel reality.
