Additional information
Building on narrative methodologies developed in Hollis' 'Secret Lives of Buildings' (2009), this paper builds on ‘La Filosofia D’Arredamento’ (Praz 1947) and ‘The Art of Memory’ (Yates 1967), to re-imagine interior historiography as the story of ephemeral meetings and events; the traces they leave behind them; and ultimately the story of the art of memory itself.
This paper was presented as a paper at the conference of the Modern Interiors Research Centre, Kingston in 2010 and in much expanded form, it forms the basis for a book, The Memory palace: a Book of Lost Interiors to be published 2013.
