Remember Me

Performance
Project for GLOBAL CONTAINER IX

Performance. Some time ago I started collecting screenshots of the „remember me“ checkboxes which often appear as an option during logging onto webpages. Besides its practical function the phrase reminded me of a desperate entreaty not to be forgotten. The simple possibility to decide to be remembered seems like a trick within the anonymous online world.
I was wondering what or who else one could address with the demand „remember me“. During an art event I performed as a fake doorwoman and gave visitors a stamp with the „remember me“ – checkbox.
