Forget-me-not

Victoria’s first solo exhibition, Forget-me-not, presents a new selection of video installations that explore themes of identity, archive, memory, aging, and home. Victoria’s work functions as portals that capture time and allow them to communicate with loved ones who have passed. By projecting onto significant household objects, the exhibition uncovers memories and recreates fragmented ones.

Victoria’s deep yearning to document stems from the lack of videos that exist of them as a child and the broader sense of loss often felt in Mexican-American families, where much of their shared history remains undocumented or has been lost over time.

Forget-me-not creates a personal archive that connects them to the past and preserves their presence for the future. The use of projection immerses the audience, providing an intimate glance into their upbringing. For Victoria, the experience of violence in domestic spaces has underscored the importance of feeling at home in their work. By creating immersive dreamscapes that feel safe and familiar, they provide a sense of comfort and belonging for their audience.

The exhibition is dedicated to their mom, Elva Salazar Cavazos and late family members–grandparents, Raul Salazar, Eulalia Salazar, and Maria Luisa Cantu, as well as their sister-in-law, Kristine Cavazos.

The exhibition is on view February 7-28, 2025 at the St. Edward’s Fine Arts Gallery in Austin, Texas.
