The Rope (2018)
Personal memories are nothing but fictional constructs, where real events are constantly blended with fantasies and recorded in the less painful manner. The smart network of neurological connections in charge of such complex design becomes the guardian our sanity, capable of sweetening life traumas while teaching crucial survival lessons.
The Rope makes use of archival mental imagery to represent a collection of lived experiences. Tight to one another, each moment complements the next, filling the gaps between ‘the real’ and that which has been, for many years, only imagined. The project thus conforms an exercise of data extraction, where the resulting pieces of an ever-changing puzzle suggest that, as individuals, we are not only shaped by personal circumstances but by the multiplicity of idealised stories that attempt to make certain sense of our temporary, earthbound presence.
