Title: I remember I forgot
Location: Various - see site map
Kameric’s project comprises of twelve photographic installations in public spaces (police station, outdoor outfitters, ice-cream parlour, pub, hotel etc) as well as six large-scale billboards in specially selected sites across the town that carry a strong a sense of history. Visitors will be invited to join a journey through Folkestone taking in Kameric's atmospheric images and stories that document the changing face of the town.
In addition, a set of postcards are being sold at Rennie's Seaside Moderin in the Old High Street as a memento of the project and the town. This way the artist's work will reach both the wider public and the private, personal sphere.
Translated text about each of the artworks into French, Turkish and Slovak can be found on the events page or from the visitor centre

Šejla Kamerić uses mainly photography and video as media juxtaposing an explicit social context with intimate perspectives. She creates tense artefacts from society through an almost obsessive documentation of details and objects surrounding her. Public interventions, diverse types of actions and site-specifically installations are one of the most important aspects of her approach to art.
