Art exhibit - photography
Same as last question. A photographer's essay. Thanks to all.
Ensayo de la identidad, surge en mi obsesión por reconstruir la identidad de personas desaparecidas, gente
que nunca he visto en persona, el retrato no surge directamente, y al verme tras esa lamentable circunstancia, solo me queda encontrar rastros, signos en la presencia que dejaron en sus espacios y objetos personales. Ese buscar y buscar se convirtió en un ejercicio, un ensayo de la búsqueda de la identidad, la reconstrucción era como pegar una fotografía rota, ese ensamble, ese pedazo que falta, es al fin y al cabo el algo de un todo. Estos encuentros, constituyeron en mí impresiones como individuo, *** donde la memoria va actuando de manera diferente con el tiempo. ***

where memory exerts a differential affect over the course of time
Seems a natural and concise way of rendering what seems to be the underlying idea.
Suerte.

where memory shifts in different ways as time goes by
Don't think you can use "act" here in English....

Note from asker:
| Thank you for your suggestion. Not too sure "where" is the best way to translate "donde" in this sentence. Would you agree? |

Noni Gilbert Riley
: Was going to post but realised I was v similar: "memory works in different ways as time passes". We all understand what is being said, and are now looking for natural sounding English.

Thanks Noni! In artspeak it's often a bit long winded though!

: I think this works quite well, perhaps I would say "in which memory..."

where memory acts differently over time
literal translation to avoid distorting the author's thoughts. Seems to refer to the Historical Memory movement (identification of people buried in mass graves during the Spanish Civil War...)

These encounters had a profound effect on me, **with***....?
"From a photographer's essay to introduce her work at a museum exhibit. Pure artspeak that lends itself to very different interpretations. I need to finish this in a few hours, appreciate all your help! TIA"
