Pessi’s both recent series of works: "Calendars and Cells" and "When..." are dealing with Memory. Her preoccupation with the subject resonates in Luis Buñuel’s words: “...Memory is our amalgamating material, our mind, our emotions, even our actions. Without memory we are nothing”. Pessi is dealing with Memory’s identity defining quality, its illusiveness and “elasticity”. She is recovering memories and using them as artistic building blocks to relate to current issues and conflicts. In her collages and installations Pessi recreates old situations and makes up new ones by using private and public photographs, bourgeois type of household elements and organic materials such as wax, wood and plaster.
