Nostalgia by David Horvitz is an artist’s book that explores memory as a fragile, unstable process rather than a fixed archive.

Through sparse images, short texts, and deliberate gaps, the book reflects on how personal and collective memories are constructed, altered, and gradually eroded over time.

Horvitz treats nostalgia not as sentimental longing but as a temporal condition shaped by repetition, distance, and loss. The work moves between presence and absence, suggesting that remembering is always also an act of forgetting. Pages function less as narrative carriers than as moments of pause, inviting the reader to slow down and become aware of their own mnemonic projections.

In Nostalgia, the book itself becomes a space for temporal experience. Reading turns into a performative act, where meaning emerges through rhythm, sequencing, and silence. The publication aligns with Horvitz’s broader practice, in which circulation, time, and the everyday are used to question how art, memory, and attention operate within contemporary life. If you want, I can shorten this to a catalogue blurb, adapt it for a publisher’s website, or tune the tone to something more academic or more poetic.
