concept

seeking understanding refers to a space related to memory, exploring the ideas exposed by director chris marker in his experimental documentary sans soleil, observing how remembering is intrinsically related to the concept of forgetting, not as its opposite but rather as an act of rewriting memory itself.
this concept is explored through the lens of familiarity, observing human traces in a garden and contemplating the act of caring for it. the aim is to evoke these gestures as a means of reconstructing a patchwork of memories, without a specific place or time, that can be lived — rewritten — again. the project is realised in collaboration with daniele di girolamo.
