Mandela Effect

Item

Title: Mandela Effect
Description: This collage incorporates three images which symbolize separate examples of the "Mandela Effect" phenomenon in which large groups of people share a specific inaccurate memory about a person, event, or thing.

The mirror represents the false memory of the Disney movie, "Snow White", where the evil stepmother is remembered as saying, “Mirror, mirror on the wall...” when in fact she says, “Magic mirror on the wall…”

The sunglasses represent the false memory of the movie, "Risky Business", in which people remember Tom Cruise singing in his socks, underwear, a dress shirt and sunglasses. In reality, he does not wear sunglasses.

The Nelson Mandela image represents the false memory of Nelson Mandela’s death in prison in the 1980’s when in fact, he died in 2013.
