this is not my memory was part of UNGEBÜGELT - THE WEDDING BANG THEORY curated by Ayse Erek, Marcio Cavalho and Teena Lange with support from Bezirkskulturfonds 2014 of the Bezirksamt Mitte.
this is not my memory was created to extend the exhibition space onto Gruentalerstraße. The performance played with fleeting points of contact to foreground the street/body as terrain, territory, time, taste, touch, tempo, trace. An exploration of what a body carries, what a body releases, and how site and memory effect all we hold on to and let go of, the performance generated an unfixed but enduring map of the human heart interfacing with temporal pasts presents and futures.
