Screen Memoir

Screen Memoir is an evolving moving-image installation and forthcoming film composed of empty cinema auditoriums filmed from the screen's perspective.

​

Reversing the gaze, the work transforms the projection surface into a witness and vacant seats into traces of an absent collective body. Echoing Jacques Derrida's Memoirs of the Blind, it inhabits the paradox that seeing always entails a form of blindness: the image looks back while its spectators remain suspended between presence and disappearance. Presented as an exclusive preview in a looping installation at Mirage Film Festival, the project is developed in collaboration with Fujifilm Italia and is being shot in the IMAX format.
