Subway Memories

By Website Introductions at 10/06/08 10:45

Memories are often connected with places, just like how they are associated with other people. A burned down place may mean a tragedy for someone, or sigh of relief for someone else. A hospital bed may remind one person of his birth, while another one may remind him of the death of a loved one. Certain places mean differently for different people. Hearing them would certainly be delightful for anyone concerned about human memory and emotion.

Such a gallery that tries to capture this was set up in a Japanese subway, where people will hear others' memories using an mp3 player.
