Read Only Memory


Memory is, therefore, neither Perception nor Conception, 
but a state or affection of one of these, conditioned by lapse of time.
 
------Aristotle, On Memory and Reminiscence, 350 B.C.E.
 
 
Read Only Memory which is short for ROM, 
refers to something that can be inputted only, 
but can’t be deleted till the destruction of the world. 
It goes the same as the journey of memory. 
Only the deeply hidden secrets and unforgettable 
past might stay till the end of life.

 
Read Only Memory is a novel of images that records and speaks 
out the meaning of life by presenting images continuously. 
We can’t delete any images stay in our mind. No matter how tiny they are. 
They surely exist and have hiding deeply inside of your memory all the time.
It may be waked up in the appropriate time and space some day, 
appearing in a cordial and familiar status.
 
Read Only Memory is not aimed at capturing the images deliberately. Instead, 
it can stimulate the self consciousness by images itself, in order to build a closely 
relationship between inner world and outside world. Photography is part of my life, 
just as writing diary to record the details and affection of life in the expectation of finding and 
discovering a better ego via the memory of images.

Notes: Read Only Memory is the first among the three series.
