This body of work has progressed from the Neuroscience research, which
investigated memory storage and brain function. It enquires into more
personal memories, specifically in relation to past generations. It
reconstructs matter, and textures that set off a memory stored in the
brain, whilst relating it to possibilities of continued life
existence, and a shared memory of a grander scale. The two yellow
figures are the artists maternal Grandma and Grandad taken from a
photograph. Are they still alive in genes, memory or still existing
beyond our immediate vision?

"Recall" is a multi-media response by artist Seran Kubisa to her archives of historical and scientific investigations including the ambitious Public Art project ʻTreasure Island: A Forensic Investigation of a Cityʼ - Portsmouth 2006-2010.
Recall invokes memories stored in fragments of the aged objects. Seran Kubisa uses a high-tech scientific process to extract the artwork from the minute fragment, which then becomes an intrinsic part of the film reel and the trigger to the memory being re-leased through stills, film scenes, film archives and sound.
The film has an original score and Seran Kubisa has worked with contemporary composers Stephen Tait and Robert Fage to respond to the objects era, heritage events and living stories. Stephen Taitʼs orchestral scores and ambient soundscapes draw you into the objects story.
Robert Fage has used original source material and found sounds, which are processed in an unusual way to invoke ghosts from the objects specific moment in time.
The most in depth investigation has been in the city of Portsmouth where it has revealed national heritage archives, personal histories and stories of life, hardship, love and death. The film reveals these collective experiences through its social dissection of life.
Archives have been created and fragments collected from diverse locations:
The Mary Rose, HMS Victory, Royal Naval Museum, D-Day museum,
Public open sessions and groups.
Artefacts have included historical gems as well as personal objects:
dog skeleton from The Mary Rose, Lady Hamiltonʼsʼ Dress Hem, a hair from Lord Nelson,
WWII Diary & Birth Tag, amongst many.
Other Investigations have been conducted on the artistsʼ sitting room,
at Coutts & Co Bank, London and Carla-Bayle a village in France.
