<br/><br/> Our memory is an edited past. In order to protect the present consciousness, the unconsciousness selectively excludes negative memories. Family albums demonstrate this tendency clearly since people only allow photographs depicting happy moments to be included in them. However, we cannot deny that the disqualified past also resides deep inside and forms the invisible foundation of our mind. The project Permanent Vacation examines the invisible unconsciousness by concealing parts of a photograph when the original function of the medium is to visually represent what is seen.   In Permanent Vacation, Ahn focuses on two recurring elements in family albums: ‘smile’ and ‘stand up straight’.
