Background information
"Simultaneously hazy and hyperreal, soaked in color and deliberate in its staging. The aesthetic in the wok of Nick MEEK is a key to unlocking the collective psyche. Accessed through imagination and leading to a fiction of reality, this collective psyche is the space where meanings that might have never been there in the first place are created. In the process of forgetting to remember, a visual mythology arises. The images in the photo volume 'Unrelible memories' - selected as one of the best photo books of 2022 by Photo Espãna - are in a dialectic between past and present, proximity and distance, real and unreal requiring a constant negotiation that is inherently bittersweet."
