ABOUT THE WORK
Throughout her process of photographing the city, Sadé collects ordinary bits and fragments of cityscapes, somewhat insignificance moments witnessing our collective memory. By decoding, retrieving and subtracting pixels she aims to create an elastic sense of ever changing landscape of memory. The brain pathways and the connections between neurons are grid-like. Nerve cells in the brain form a simple checkerboard grid pattern. Sadé commence her work using a grid, reflecting on both urbanism and brain activity.
