Memory Games is a series of aerial photographs of people playing sports in Foro Italico in Rome, a sports complex that was built as Foro Mussolini. The entrance to the complex consists of a monumental walkway with fascist mosaics. Nowadays, the walkway is a popular place among locals for exercise. Memory Games captures how these people (inadvertently) interact with their own past in the process.

Memory Games was developed in the frame of a research fellowship at Villa Romana and the Kunshistorisches Institut Florenz (KHI). It was also supported by the Mondriaan Fund.
