Lot Essay

'Physically there's no difference between fiction and memory - they become confused. In my case, things that I experience through film or literature become completely confused with real experience. So sometimes I don't know whether such a thing happened or didn't happen...'
(M. Kelley, quoted in Day is Done, exh. cat., Gagosian Gallery, New York 2005, p. 472).
