Project

overlapping remnants

The project “overlapping remnants” aims to examine memory as a dynamic process that intertwines past perceptions with present realities, offering a deeper understanding of the continuous interplay between different eras. It explores the relationship between memory and reality through the personal experiences of a family member who worked at Vila 31 from 1974 to 1982.  

By juxtaposing past and present, the project highlights the Vila 31 transformation over time and thereby aims to document and preserve individual memory by capturing detailed recollections and comparing them with the current state of the building. Personal remembrance together with present-day visuals, will offer viewers a comprehensive tour that tries to connect the gap between memory and reality.
