cv
come, Memory is a film and scenographic installation; a result of a long trajectory of research, experimentation and collaboration, that centres on a series of ancient (especially Neolithic) European sacred sites, and looks speculatively, through embedded, eroded and residual evidence, at the presence/absence of the divine feminine.
