Fragments From a Life I Don’t Remember  –  2022

Fragments from a Life I don’t Remember explores the ambiguity and fluidity of the identity of contemporary people, influenced by a few main factors like: genetics, time and society. My experiments are looking to understand individual identity starting from the past, history, a personal search around family photos, the latent universe created behind the ramble from image to concrete reality.
By using and perceiving images as visual and conceptual instruments, a transition is made from document to personal photography conceived as a cinematic frame, appealing to a personal subjective and relational memory with introspection and intimacy.
Fragments from a Life I don’t Remember becomes at the same time an ironic question about the perception of life as a dream and an act of emotional and rational detachment from past events, in relation to a constantly changing identity.
The project explores compartments of my mind that constitute fragments of memories or impressions of memories, stemming from unexpected insertions, a present smash-cut made to question the decisions I have taken, the experiences I have lived, while mentally projecting a possible future.
A formal and conceptual understanding of the image is done through construction, deconstruction and, a formal distortion looking for meanings behind the photographic frame. Thus, the future cannot be projected without understanding a present filtered through the premises built in the past.
The exhibition represents a reflection over the number of important events that shape us as people and the importance of each fragment of memory that can shake our present, questioning the flow of time, the characteristics of our identity and finally the relativity of the future.
