Palimpsest - a collection of mixed media collages by Anastasia Tribambuka, that act as a record of memory, presence, and absence. Interweaving fragments of personal and collective stories, the exhibition explores the shifting patterns between us and the fragile traces that remain.
Anastasia’s work inhabits overlapping thresholds, where lives and histories bleed into one another, forming a perceptual overlay that she names her palimpsest: a map of the subconscious inscribed in fragments.
For Anastasia, collage is a form of listening. With a sense of anarchic resistance, historic and hierarchic importances are broken down. Materials are destroyed and reformed, speaking in their own voice but also coming together in a process of interference and contradiction. This challenges memory versus erasure, revealing memory’s unpredictable hauntings. Palimpsest does not reconstruct history but evokes its afterimages.
