Part of an ongoing travelogue series, where I catalog what I see and what I think about the places I travel to, partly to keep the trip somewhere more permanent than memory, partly to have something to share. Each issue also gives me a section to experiment with how visual information gets processed and communicated.

This issue looks at how we actually remember art. In a museum, regardless of the scale of the piece in front of you, there is usually one detail that stays with you more than the whole. It is rarely the same detail for two people, which is what makes it worth looking at.

Each piece is shown through that single detail, with a line box drawn around it at the scale of the full work, marking where in the painting the fragment sits. The context stays available without competing with the part that actually stuck.
