We are all haunted by our memories, and sometimes by others' memories. That's why objects are important. They carry pieces of people and time with them.

In the softly lit interior of a room in the residence, where the entrance is nearly obstructed by a wardrobe, two performers engage with objects from their personal lives. These items, meticulously chosen for their sensory or emotional significance, are arranged on a mound of overturned furniture. As they are moved and combined, they recreate still lifes within a collective landscape. Through the interplay of these objects, their movements, and the resulting compositions, the performers seek to evoke forgotten memories.
