An intimate portrait of the artist's father, Present Memory documents both a constructed and anticipated memory. The literal and metaphorical projection staged in the work is a rehearsal of fears: an attempt at dealing with a future absence, the process of mourning and remembering, mortality and letting go. Projected in the same location on three different levels of the Tate Modern in London, and aligned within the architecture as frames in a film strip, the work inserts a personal narrative into the institutional space, triggering a sense of déjà vu as visitors move through the building. Comissioned by Level 3 Gallery, Tate Modern, London.
