Memento Mori
Performance | 40’00” | 2021 | home

Inspired by everyday life, ‘Memento Mori’ is an intimate performance that interweaves experiences, memories, inconsequential moments, relative time, and ritualistic attempts at healing. It invites viewers on an immersive journey through a domestic space, culminating at a circular table where a peculiar meal will be served, accompanied by precise actions that emphasise routine rituals and the passage of time. Operating on the border between reality and imagination, the performance captures the cyclical nature of life and death, creating a narrative that delves into these existential themes.
