Interweave

Interweave is a video work where elderly people from Greenwich Village, New York share unforgettable memories and stories from their past. They encompass survival, immigration, miracles - and a story about secret atomic city. Those valuable invidual stories get lost very easily and with them, we lose a piece of our common history that is so often repeating itself. The work explores memory and remembering. What are the most essential memories that we choose to pass on to the next generation - What remains after all? Our hopes and fears, personal values and habits, are all influenced by the memories of our past.  The time and the mind are filtering and interweaving past life, and what remains are maybe those most remarkable memories, crystallizing one’s personal way of looking and experiencing life - each one different and valuable.
