Conceived and directed by the artist, this is an international domestic tele-video performance art project created in order to unite emotions and memories of locked-down people from around the world, inspired by Samuel Beckett’s confined and socially disabled characters. This artwork is a contemporary “memory recorder” of a global human; a lonely, locked-down universal individual. In a locked-up globe, our memory cannot be free. We are obedient citizens fed by mass media and raised as agents who transmit images and expectations. All these memories are merged and interconnected, come to life and die on a platform, in an intangible environment, in domestic and sometimes non domestic scenographies, to seek communication and create a contact with their contactless world. The scenography and its narrative power reveal the loneliness and the human need for togetherness. Forced Memories is a project that seeks to create the human with free recollections. Are we saying something out of the ordinary?
