SUPERIMPOSITION allows us to rebuild the special places in our life through a journey of creative visualization.
Most people think of certain places as part of who they are. A grandparent’s kitchen, a favorite trail, a classroom, a home.
Nothing revives memories and emotions more powerfully than returning to the places where those memories were formed. But what happens when return is impossible?
In SUPERIMPOSITION, participants reconstruct significant places from memory using oversized measuring devices, surveying tools, and pieces of chalk carried inside labeled pill bottles. The chalk is used to draw remembered floor plans directly onto the ground, transforming memory into a temporary architecture.
Participants then walk through these reconstructed spaces, using creative visualization to project walls, furniture, objects, and details back into existence. What begins as a two-dimensional drawing becomes a three-dimensional mental hologram — a remembered place superimposed onto the present one.
The project proposes that memory may function as a hidden dimension of space. Places do not disappear when we leave them; they persist as internal landscapes that can be revisited, reconstructed, and inhabited. Through acts of measurement, drawing, and movement, participants explore the overlap between physical space and remembered space.

The process begins with making a simple blueprint of your place - the kind one might sketch on a napkin.
