ProseThetic Memories is a collaborative, fictocritical and cross-genre text which combines prose, poetry, cultural theory and philosophy. It challenges traditional ideas about memory as a process of storage and subsequent retrieval. Instead memory is seen as a dynamic process, in which the present constantly transforms our impression of the past and vice versa. In this way the very division of time into discrete past and present components is called into question. Important to the genesis of the piece was Freud's notion of Nachtraglichkeit, "afterwardsness", the idea that what is continually rewrites what has been. The concept of prosthesis is also central to the piece because collaboration is itself a prosthetic process, involving the adoption of others' memories and preoccupations, and because memory is always collective as well as individual.
