Between Memory and History 2006

"Between Memory and History" is a 2006 installation piece by Navjot Altaf. The artwork is a room-sized structure consisting of a large, free-standing, white, woven fabric wall, and a metal frame resembling a bed with a mattress inside. The wall is made up of countless small white strips of fabric, suggesting a sense of containment, both physical and metaphorical. The bed inside the frame symbolizes the space for memory and reflection, while the surrounding wall alludes to the dense and complex nature of history.
