He happened not to be
there (2006) is an installation concerning memory, personal and
geographical realities,
based on staged photos from my parents home and texts inspired by
scene directions from Marguerite Duras,
Hiroshima mon amour (1959). (
This piece is a continuation on Where
he came from (2006)).
One of the reasons why I choosed to work with Duras’ script, Hiroshima
mon amour (besides the fact that my
father spent one whole winter trying to find a copy of the book..) is
that I was caught by the description of the
private (banal) story about love and grief in the shadow of the
devastating catastrophy.
I’m interested in stories connecting and leading up to others stories
and people.
