This programme examines the nature of memory and how it contributes to our personal and historical knowledge. The archiving of testimonies parallels traditions of storytelling, narrative and mutual support through conversation. By considering memories and dreams as sources of information, the works observe the power and influence of recollection on collective consciousness. These fragile socially-held thoughts bring forth strange symbols when disturbed or destroyed.
