Tu es un souvenir qui bouge - Film - 20min - 2015
presented as part of the exhibition Panorama 17
Tu es un souvenir qui bouge (You are a moving memory) is an encounter that takes place on the brink of magic tales, with a real city and an imaginary person.
Each brings the story of a double. The city, expressing itself through the voice of a woman inhabitant, speaks of a sister city destroyed by an earthquake. For the person, it is a lost twin whose limits merge with their own identity as personal memory fades.
This resonance between geography and the personal gives the film its rhythm, weaving a visual dialogue at the intersection of documentary and fiction. Beyond the evocation of memory and mourning, what I wanted to make tangible was the sensorial experience of these processes, and their porosity in relation to the reinvention of an identity, a future.
