“Fossil Memory” by Ellery Bryan
Part of a collaboration with Stone Quarry Art Park, Fossil Memory traces history through direct and indirect artifacts, using planetary movements and geological records as jumping-off points for memory and subjectivity. Shooting on celluloid film, Ellery Bryan begins at the solar eclipse and records performances in quarries and rock collections, personal and scientific archives. They collapse vignettes of past gestures into mineral composition, activating silver to visually explore recollection. This work uses material history to probe unstable perceptions, connections and ephemerality.
