MEMORY LAB

The word remember derives from the Latin: re- meaning “back” and cor meaning “heart”. It therefore means to call back to the heart. In ancient times, the heart was believed to be the seat of memory, which we now know to be the brain.

In these terms, then, remembering does not simply mean “to have memories”, but to keep past experiences alive within you, allowing them once again to have an impact on your essence and your life.

Stories and anecdotes, but also desires, goals and dreams. And then hypotheses, fears and concerns about what we will become, about what is to come.

The final outcome of a workshop on childhood, seen through the eyes of those who were experiencing it not so long ago and, at the same time, by imagining themselves as elderly, through the eyes of those who today can only speculate about memories still unknown.
