Pessi’s both latest series of works: "Calendars and Cells" and "When..." are dealing with Memory. Her preoccupation with the subject resonates in Luis Buñuel’s words: “...Memory is our amalgamating material, our mind, our emotions, even our actions. Without memory we are nothing”. Pessi is dealing with Memory’s identity defining quality, its illusiveness and “elasticity”. She is recovering memories as building blocks, recreating old situations and new made up ones by using family photographs along with bourgeois type of household elements. Each work is inspired by a specific moment – real or imagined - indicated through the title.
