Aide-Mémoire (v.8)
This lecture is proposed on the occasion of the exhibition Ahoy, an island !, presented at the Fondation d’entreprise Ricard from January 10 to February 11, 2012.
In Aide-Mémoire, Uriel Orlow presents salvaged visuals of a possible film, reflects on blind-spots of history and explores the territory between travelogue, slide-show and immersive sound-scape. Chains of association, visual clues and narrative fragments are woven into new configurations of past and future and reconstructed meanings. Biblical Mount Ararat, a Ghost Town in Northern Armenia on the site of an earthquake, death masks of Soviet luminaries – all conjure symbols, ghosts from the past and the future of History.
This lecture is proposed in partnership with Bétonsalon.
