"Thanks to memory, time is not lost, and if it is not lost, the space is also not lost. Beside the reencountered time is the reencountered space. Or, to be more specific, is a space finally found, a space that finds and discovers itself because of the movement triggered by memory." George Poulet
IMAGINARY MEXICO: INHERITED, LIVED AND INVENTED MEMORIES is a poetic approach on Mexican culture and imaginary. This work is made upon resonances that I, as a Brazilian, daughter of a Mexican woman, recognized along the reading of "Peter Palamo", by Juan Rulfo. They are visual memories of ancestral memories, inherited stories, and recollections of lived and invented moments. I seek roots from lost ancestors in a distant land, numerous references and multiple affections that give shape to identity and strengthen ties with this land. Maybe this way, a little star, among the countless constellations that inhabit the sky of this country and in it inscribe its vibrant personality, become more visible. Mexico is, for me, synonym of childhood,of mother. It is desire for a reunion.
