week44/45:

During my work on the "cardboard archive" I also tryed to work on the progess of the shape of my inner archive. As I allready wrote, my inner archive seems for me, like a cloud of different bubbles, in different sizes and differents shapes, poping out one from another.
As I wrote in the post of week 41,

"If I think about my “inner archive”, then is this actually somewhat that is not tangible or concrete. Something, which does not has a material-related form, since it concerns an abstract structure.
With the attempt to find out, how this abstract structure, all these thoughts, are ordered, I noticed that all my memories, experiences, sensations of the past (sound, taste, smell, and haptic memories), visual stored images, feeling- and emotion memories are tied to specific experiences /events/adventures. 
So my "inner archive" does not follow a chronological (example: annual rhythm) order, but consists of thousands of small and large memory spaces. This in turn contain a certain time, certain people, a certain action/activity in a certain place. All these memory spaces, or we can call them also knowledge spaces, exist next to each other and do not follow a incomprehensible order. All these memory spaces are indeed stored in my thinking, but I can not fetch it immediately. This means I need an impulse, an initiation, a motive that opens me certain memories and knowledge spaces, enlightened them. This will trigger a whole chain of associations, and numerous memory spaces pop up, one after another."

the form of this mind-bubbles is very inconcrete and difficult to describe with a common geometric form. On my search for a at least a bit perfect form to describe my thoughts, I driffted away from the form of normal globes and came thereby every step closer to a very complicated, difficult and hard to imaginate, three- dimensional structure.
During my reasearch I found than a quiet special form, whichone came my inner picture of these mind- bubbles very near: the more complicated icosahedrons.
In week 41 I posted for that reason pictures from the collection of "Bea Szenfeld". These "paper works" are made by a lot of icosahedrons, but they seem to be just easily bonded together with glue. 
For my work, it was in return, necessary that the forms keep flexible and modifiable to show their character of an uncertain and nondurable structure whichone can change by every new impression. 
 So every impression can trigger a whole new chain of associations. The oragiami paper folding technique was, for this needs, the best choose. At the end, I found very special and unique forms of isocahedrons in origami style, whose features and qualities correspond very close with my immagination of the mind bubbles structure.
