Set in Stone

on what we long to forget and what we choose to remember

Set in Stone revolves around the persistence of memory concerning the materiality and immateriality of existence. It questions our capacity to endure (being remembered) beyond materiality (a body) or representation. This written work balances between, on one hand, what is necessary for one to be remembered or to be forgotten, analyzed from the perspective of the cult of the self in art and social networks, and on the other, the revolutions that in recent times have attempted to overthrow governments based on the cult of personality.
