This may be a liar project. It’s about dating, and how these meetings / moments / events form our identity because they have a permanence, unconscious, in the body. Memory is the element, or tool used to think about this process of exchange.

The research begins in the production of elements to not forget, in order to register all that you may need. I wanted to realize what this mechanism is, what happens physically for a relationship to be established in this contract in which we reflect infinitely on the other and the other reflects infinitely through us. It is the formation of this circular movement of relationships that reveals the dependence of the other, in order to exist and confirm our personal and non-transferable truth, the memory (the monument).

Our gestures, movements, words, speeches and ideas change in this relationship? Who am I alone? Who am I in relation to the other? What remains of others in me? What does it belong to me? In what way do we deal with our memory, with what remains, with what is left of what dies, what figures, objects, shadows result? How to fit others bodies in this memory, in this ruin? By accumulation? By appropriation? Construction? Reconstruction? We are transported into memory or it is the memory that transports?

– What’s left of this / these meeting(s)? : “What is left? Memory and architecture. “-
