Enlighten

The fungi that grew on the physical archive of the eruption of the Capelinhos Volcano (1957, Faial Island) deteriorated the images, transforming them, in the same way that time altered the way those who lived through the eruption remember it. Based on my grandparents' forgetfulness and memories, I make a photo film that focuses on memory and its faults, proposing the idea of forgetting as a fungus.
