“I made See Memory with the belief that the need to understand memory and how it shapes who we are is universal. The film combines art and science, giving a vivid experience of what it is to remember and be haunted as well as enriched by our memories.” -Viviane Silvera

Through the power of memory and imagination, we have the potential to reinterpret our pasts, free ourselves from trauma and live expansive futures. An artist explores the intimate nature of memory and the science of remembering in See Memory, a 15-minute film made out of 30,000 painting stills and interviews with ground breaking neuroscientists. “

Inspired by the groundbreaking neuroscience of Memory Reconsolidation, which demonstrates that long term memories can be changed and even erased, Silvera’s work explores the ways in which memory haunts and heals, while consolidating our identities. Driven by questions about her own history, Silvera has gone inside the neuroscience labs of McGill, Columbia University and Mount Sinai’s Icahn School of Medicine to explore the latest developments in the science of memory.
