«My memory is fragile and full of holes.»
Simone, a 94-year-old grandmother with Alzheimer’s disease.

Memorabilia is a sound puzzle dedicated to my grandmother. It is a cartography of the surroundings of the “Port de Pully” where she lived most of her life. Since her recent arrival in a retirement home, Simone no longer has access to this environment which is of great importance to her and allows her to escape and soothe from her day-to-day life. This puzzle enables her to revive memories while working on her cognitive functions. It activates senses such as touch thanks to the “puzzle pieces” which take the form of natural elements coming from the lake’s surroundings. In addition, the experience also provides various sounds found at the edge of the lake as well as testimonies from her relatives. While she no longer has access to all these things, my goal is to bring them to her thanks to the Memorabilia (memory box).
