"...A train has a poor memory; it soon puts all behind it. It forgets the cornlands... the rivers of childhood, the bridges, the lakes, the valleys, the cottages, the hurts and the joys. It spreads them out behind and they drop back of a horizon...
...Like a memory, a train works both ways. A train can bring rushing back all those things you left behind so many years before...."
"The Lake" by Ray Bradbury 1944
memoRailbilia = memorabilia + rail
it is a series of 44 drawings, the result of an abstraction process which translates a city-city train journey in a sort of imaginary topographic plan.
the path is used as the linear basis to generate add infinitum an offset of contours.
it is a reflection about the travel as an ephemeral one time experience, the memory produced by this experience and how this memory transforms itself through time.
