As active forgetting itself is an attempt to erase existing memories, I adopted a second more targeted experiment, taking different approaches to destroy a piece of paper with my unwanted memory written on it “A dog jumped out of the cliff”. I tried blackening it, crossing out the sentence, putting tape on it, sewing a piece of curtain on it, shredding it, burning the whole paper off, and reorganizing it after shredding it into pieces. The paradox lies in that the will of active forgetting is the admitting to the existence itself, which evolves into the counter-will. During the process, all of my attempts to erase the materialization of the memory - the sentence “A dog jumped out of the cliff” are creating new traces instead of demolishing it, even the ashes of the paper indicate that there was something I’m not able to face. The traces I created in erasing the traces (memory) only bared my willingness to erase it, and the failure of erasing it.
