Jun Iizuka. FOREST MEMORY GAME. 2017

 

6 kinds of forest image are printed on both sides of cards in 6 patterns, so 36 cards in total will be used. The rule is basically that of concentration game: you can get the cards if you can make a pair; but if you canʼt, unlike concentration game, you canʼt keep the side of cards as before. So then the front and back will be reversed, making you stray into the forest. Players will struggle to escape from there while experiencing the artistʼs memory of lost in a forest.

​

​A memory card game where players "lose their way" in a forest when failing to match a pair. Based on the artist's personal memory of getting lost as a child, this game transforms memory into a shared experience. When a player makes an error, the cards flip, causing disorientation and reinforcing the feeling of being lost in a forest of recollections.
