Of her Your Memories series says Diptaa: “With my Your Memories series I first go back to the place of someone’s memories to take photographs of what has disappeared. This memory place can be a former address, a childhood playground, a bench, or a table at a restaurant: anything and anywhere as long as it is inhabited by memories. In a second step, these photographs are adorned with drawings, speaking about our ability to fill up what has faded away with new visions and desires.”

Of this piece she explains: “Unreal Jen takes place in the NOMA museum, New Orleans, and is connected to Jen’s memories of a peaceful place where she could escape from the busy city. I wanted Unreal Jen to be lightweight, dreamy and organic, and oppose simplicity to the very urban and massive building of NOMA. I wanted to insert an escape into the picture itself, mirroring Jen’s escape.

All prints are archival. They are digitalised from original film photographs Diptaa took using a 120mm film camera.
