Got this call for contributions this morning, thought some of you out there might find it interesting and since you have nothing better to do than Tumbl all the time you may as well help out this artist. AMIRITE?

Mobile Art Productions (MAP) is currently producing a new artwork with one of Sweden’s most prominent and interesting artists, Jonas Dahlberg. The project is based on an archive of architectural memories of specific places in films. 

LETTER FROM ARTIST JONAS DAHLBERG
Hi,
I am now working on building up an archive of people’s memories of locations that are influenced by film. I’m writing to ask you if you would share with me at least one of your memories - or even a flash of a thought - that involves a room, space, place, or site that you remember from a film. 
What interests me are the memory image(s) that pop up in your mind, that originates from a movie, when you think of a certain kind of room or location. For example: “When I think of [a hotel room], or am in [a hotel room], I see [scene from a movie…] before me.

All films, high and low, new or old, are equally valid. It is not important that your memory from the film is “accurate”. We often remember things very differently from how they really happened, how long it took for something to happen, whether it was day or night, etc. 

The archive may serve as the basis for a number of works, and possibly a publication. It is likely that in some way, I would like to eventually list all the people who have contributed with memories, but will seek your approval in advance.

Thank you!
Jonas Dahlberg
