Dear Diary is a study of how experience is recorded through the written word and through digital media, and how it is shared with the emergence of video content sharing sites. In it, the artist’s father reads out the diary he kept over a period of 2 years when she was growing up in Greece, accompanied by a montage of Greek holiday videos off YouTube. The quotidian content and private nature of the personal diary contrasts that of the videos, which are necessarily selected for their portrayal of ‘good times’, presenting an idealised version both of the country and of the time spent there, performed for posterity and with an audience in mind. The videos have been chosen according to the places and events mentioned in the father’s diary, as though remembering the past through other people’s experiences, suggesting that individual memory has begun to merge with the a collective mass of singular experiences offered by the internet, or that experience, especially when travelling to other countries is no longer unique. By drawing on real events in the artist's past as they are recollected by her father the work also explores the role of personal history in making art work and perhaps how this history is exploited in creating an artistic identity.
