For his graduation project at the ECAL/Ecole cantonale d’art de Lausanne, Benjamin Freedman is reconstructing his childhood memories using CGI (Computer Generated Imagery). The artist diverts this technology, mostly used in films and video games, which requires close involvement in the creation of every object, detail and lighting. Freedman meticulously reconstructs a family road trip between Montreal and Maine in the United States in 1999, reproducing his point of view at the age of nine. Created for the site near the Swiss Museum of Games, the installation explores how memory shapes, transforms and simulates reality. Positive Illusions plunges nostalgically into the joyous world of childhood, fragmented by memory and reassembled by technology.
