Spatial Imaginations: The Reconstruction of Memory



This thesis explores Vietnam in 2150 in the aftermath of a devastating flood that erases the past, present, and future memories of the country. Using storytelling as a tool, the thesis retraces history to reconstruct the contours of the country as a way of remembering. It re-examines an unreliable memory as the starting point to rewriting the stories of the past. Through these reimagined histories, how can the future that has yet to happen, be remembered differently?
