15 Glenview Circle

explores themes of presence, absence, passage and memory, as well as the photograph's cultural role as visual validation of one's existence. By taking on the role as curator, photographer and artist, Hiden investigates her grandfather's struggle with dementia and making an attempt to reconcile his memory loss. Appropriated images from the past are re-contextualized and layered with imagery from the present, using the house as metaphor for the mind. Two slices of time become joined in one frame and become illustrative of the deteriorating mind‐in which past and present are indistinguishable.
