Work based on deconstruction and stretching of remembered images according to the phenomenological understanding of time. There is a right to quote here from views known from experience and borrowed. The breakdown of the memory corresponds to a return to the pre-symbolic, fragmented image of oneself before the “mirror phase” in Lacan or the “Oedipal” in Freud. Building a scenography for a sensory experience is an attempt to counterbalance the virtualisation of the visual experience. Learning to walk becomes a metaphor for what has to be ‘passed’ to ‘see’.
