Store, collect, sort, keep. Remember, forget.

​

The processes of implementing a memory are made of changes and displacements, in a context of constant renewal, with an urbanization made more often of deconstructions and restructurings.

​

How to restore and preserve memory when it fails, alternates, dives and cuts itself off? What is the role of the testimony and the clues we create to remember? Can photography, video and note-taking be a solution to escape from oblivion or at least rehabilitate what has been?

​

When the testimony and the images collapse, perhaps comes another moment than the one of the memory, the time of a battle, of the acceptance of the disappearance, or the perpetual search for an evidence, a proof, which would attest that 'this' or 'that' really existed.
