A performance video referencing Mahmoud Darwish’s 1982 classic “Memory for Forgetfulness”. Made 18 years ago the work is part of a duology titled Counting Memories following the summer of 2006 when Israel launched a war on both Gaza and Lebanon one month apart. The video reveres the act of writing and the will to remember. In Kaelen Wilson-Goldie’s words (2007): “(Pushing) memory into the realm of performance and allowing for its willful suspension in the imagination as fantasy and, quite possibly, as future”.
