Remember

Video created during the class ""artistic creation on audiovisual media"
..often the word "memory" is associated to more or less strong or pleasant emotions.
..often the memory comes from objects ..grandfather's clock or just a photo..
...Too often we tend to forget the power of the human body to storememories: he is an astonishing communication means and also an enormouswealth of experience: maybe it is the biggest "container" we possess..
Each mark, spot or scar brings to light an infinite amount of memories.
Each grimace can be reconnected to hundreds of situations and emotions.
The body saves and preserves indelibly those experiences, which the mind tries to forget.
The project consists in going back to various memories which areintrinsic in the human body: the hands, the neck, the eyes, the ears,the mouth...
Treating these five stages through the various shots and close-ups ofthe protagonist, the video "remember" would like to (and make you)concentrate on thinking about how many and what stories we carry alongwith us ... how many emotions and memories we have forgotten but theyare still there, under our eyes ... and we carry them with us day after day ...
