Pre Orders for 1001 Accurate Memories Now Open

From traumatic memory culture to learning with bodies

alexhead.com/bookstore

In 1001 Accurate Memories Berlin artist Alex Head presents patterns of self-repair amongst the ruins of ideas, relationships and human bodies. The author travels across space and time attempting to gain insights into class, disability and trauma through drawing, writing and photography. His investigation into traumatic memory tempts the author to suggest a shift from Germany’s professed ‘memory culture’ to a ‘traumatic memory culture’, in that traumatic memory is greatly more accurate. 

Consequently, 1001 Accurate Memories seeks to locate the reader back within their own skin by highlighting our differentiated but ultimately shared anatomy. 

Birthed from a seven year odyssey into blood, guts and tears, the work proposes that sensations in the body begin wider processes of understanding. By identifying the value of listening to the body in this way, the interpretative role of the human brain becomes more apparent. From this insight stems the ability to see trauma, memory and political propaganda as forms of easily manipulated emotional information. This leads Head to conclude that the primary way to counter such manipulation is the spiritual, physical and mental self-determination of the human body.

There are no special giveaways for pre ordering. The goal is to increase the print run from 100 to 150/200 copies. Each sale creates proportionally more and more copies!

Released first on #Mastodon

Dispatched April-May.

Cover and reverse cover of 1001 Accurate Memories book project by artist Alex Head, on Plural Studio (2025). The Image shows a blurred black and white image of a grinning face turning towards the left hand spine of the front cover of the book. One can also see five distinct hexagons of red, blue and yellow tones arranged to the right of the cover image. The Image also shows the same blurred black and white image from the front cover of the book, now on the back cover. However where the descriptive text would usually be presented on the back of the book a large black rectangle has replaced it save for the caption: From traumatic memory culture to learning with bodies

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Joseph Addison

I have always preferred cheerfulness to mirth. The latter I consider as an act, the former as an habit of mind. Mirth is short and transient, cheerfulness fixed and permanent. Those are often raised into the greatest transports of mirth who are subject to the greatest depressions of melancholy. On the contrary, cheerfulness, though it does not give the mind such an exquisite gladness, prevents us from falling into any depths of sorrow. Mirth is like a flash of lightning, that breaks through a gloom of clouds, and glitters for a moment; cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1712-05-17), The Spectator, No. 381

People interpret dogs' emotions based on context. When shown a picture of a dog adjacent to a leash, they interpret the dog as being happy; when the same picture is manipulated to show the dog adjacent to a vacuum cleaner, they interpret the dog as being unhappy.

Knowridge Science Report · Are we misreading our dogs? New research says yesMany dog owners believe they can easily understand their pets’ emotions. A wagging tail means happiness, a guilty look means regret, and a lowered head means sadness. But new research from Arizona State University suggests that humans often misread their dogs’ emotions. The study, published in Anthrozoös, found that people judge their dog’s emotions based […]
