‘The Valley of Lost Things’ tells the story of losing and finding of a key. Through these events, three key versions existed; the original, the imagined, and the found key. It’s unclear how these three keys came into being and expired. It’s possible that they crossed paths and influenced each other’s existence. Through the losing, imagining and finding, something external became internalised, was reformed into something else, then regurgitated.
Claire Davies tells this story through a set of new video works and sculptures that allow a consideration of memory as a cerebral substance, a weird protoplasm made of the internalised vision of an object and its physical existence.
