"The distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."  Albert Einstein

I am exploring the tension between enlightment narratives, natural sciences and history versus the subjective construction of memory. How can we create fluid and multi-dimensional knowledge in space and time? How do we continue to make histories?  I am travelling to Egypt for an collaborative artists’ residency/ project entitled Triangulations, where I will combine my interests by walking and talking in a ‘live studio’ on the Gizah plateau with my Great-Great-Grandfathers Gizah expedition diaries as a starting point. Re-tracing historic events allows multi-dimensional histories to develop among the artifacts. This project is funded by the Arts Council of Ireland. www.tinkabechert.com
