Big Bug is a book all about the imprecision of strong memories, the fuzziness of something clear, remembering the taste without being able to taste the memory. This work plays with how visuals can be the starting point for a more expansive recollection: a connection to something the viewer has touched, tasted, heard, smelled or seen.
In this book, Jake Nemirovsky uses the surface of an image to provoke deeper and more hidden perspectives. Free of themes or a singular narrative, this book seeks to trigger memories, recall experiences and serve as photo album for any viewer - tantalisingly close to experiences we each might recall, one step removed from our lived experience and all the more evocative because of that.
