Recall

xx CONNECTION BETWEEN FRAGMENTED HI/STORIES

Great Britain / 2015 / 30'
Performance one-to-one

In the field of neurology, scientists have
identified that the human mind inserts
information from the present into past
memories. When recalled the memories
become reinterpreted to adapt in an ever
changing environment, re-framing moments
of a person’s life. Unlike a film, which relays a
recorded event as it was captured, the human
memory edits information to present a story
which fits into a person’s present reality

What would you do if you could return to
a memory and change it? Would it affect your
future? Could you rewrite a part of your own
history? 

“A brilliantly simple one-on-one, allows for
memory to be reframed or rewritten. It is a
piece that has generosity at its warm,
beating heart.”
– Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

“A genuinely immersive experience that
takes place in the deep psychological space
of memory, mediated by technology, and
performed with humility, care and a lightness of
touch you simply don’t see the full weight and
impact of the piece coming.”
– Robert Pacitti, Curator and director of SPILL
Festival of Performance

“Recall was an emotional experience
that brings you straight to your heart,
as it were - it’s incredible”
– Selina Thompson, Artist
