Identity 2.0

HISTORICAL UNIQUENESS ‘This will come to nothing,’ said the hotel manager and the young co-worker responsible for communicationalternately shaking and nodding her head. This is what was heard and seen after the first presentation by Total Identity. The idea made me think, just like that, of my grandmother, who for over 90 years kept a diary in which she recorded all the important events of the previous century: war, work, and family.

She could still remember everything she had noted down: even at 95 she could remember things from when she was a little girl.

When she was 96, my grandmother asked me whether I was still so bad at school. I really should do better better—and to think that at that time I had left school 15 years earlier. My grandmother died when she was 100. The diaries were revealed within the family circle only after her death. My sister, who read every single diary entry with fascination, found an entry from 1959, in which grandmother— grandmother who had 36 grandchildren—mentioned me.

My sister read aloud to me, rather triumphantly: ‘Poor Paula, Uli is so bad at school’ referring to my mother and me, respectively.

Total Identity has convinced me to leave the conventional path and concentrate entirely on identity. Not only the idea of the ‘Mountain Stories’ fascinated me-just as important is the empathy with which the presenters have summarised the core of the identity of the Vigilius Mountain Resort.
