V&A Museum Memory Palace

During the visit to the V&A exhibition, Memory Palace caught my attention which was Hari Kunzru's story of a futuristic London narrated by a man in prison who has the ancient 'art of memory'. 

This exhibition was one that honestly amazed me, the concept of a future in which the policy for generations is not to remember any memories from the past. Thoughts that came to mind through out were how emotionally draining a corrupted world diminished by any form of creativity and memories torn away, banned. 

The illustrations created within this exhibition intrigued me as it was inspiring to see, misunderstood, flickers of what was thought past. One piece of artwork which stood out most was of a broken city which read 'My fellow Londoners, can't you see how we are diminished?' (Kunzru, 2013)  I found this a brilliant representation of how ruined and dead the world, London has now become.
