‘How Photographs Are Stored in the Brain’ assembles an archive of photographs and phonograph recordings discovered in an empty house. They are not my photographs or (presumably) your photographs, so they stand in for the idea of a family archive. A ruthless animation, sentimental and quietly mocking, yet perhaps still able to evoke sadness and longing.
