Immemorial

Each object hides a story and keeps it alive. But what does the immediate presence of that object, which is devoid of meaning and past, mean? What do unrelated objects do when they come together in a space where they don't belong? In this performance-installation, the artist creates new relationships between objects. In this way she develops her own form of storytelling with objects that move through time and connect us.
