Reconsolidation

Reconsolidation Or, It's the Ghosts Who Will Answer You

Janice Lee2015
Memory assists perception, grounding our understanding of those around us and those who have left their traces through time - but how reliable is memory really? Memory is malleable, shaped and shifted through consolidation and reconsolidation. Consolidation is the neurological process that stores memories after an event's occurrence; reconsolidation refers to a process whereby consolidated memories later become unstable, causing false or loose recall. Reconsolidation: Or, it's the ghosts who will answer you is a lyrical montage born out of the eternal loss of a loved one. Powerfully crafted during grief's inertia, Janice Lee elegantly weaves the present with recollections of a tenuous past, arresting memory's flexible and vulnerable position in the lifelong process of mourning. A eulogy for a loved one - pure and honest - Reconsolidation is a poetic search for a lost connection.
