memoria
The film has been compilated from archival footage belonging to the estate of Jozef Homer (1924–1992). Lying dormant in the attic of his house in Záhorská Ves, Slovakia, for 30 years, the archive contained more than 15,000 analog photographs, 27 reels of 8mm film, and 21 tapes. The film explores the disintegration of memory through physical intervention in the material of the film, and offers a space to reflect on one's own memory and the nature of time.
