In order to remember, do we need to forget?

The project post diaries is about memory and disappearance. Based on images, texts fragments, short appropriations, an imaginary invention about Japan under a fresh foreigner way to look at this country on the very early moments spent in there. Time passing was necessary to elaborate these diaries in order to loose the sharpness and to recreate these recordings freely from the necessity imposed by the daily notes to be transparent and to describe a situation. Of course a diary hasn’t the compromise to became a documentary, but it should have some correspondence with the daily experiences. But five years later to write this situation becomes impossible. The disappearance, the deleting, the miscellaneous and the fragmentation of this memories are inevitable. Images became frozen into many tapes loosing their colors into a very smooth time fog. Overwrite this remembering remakes them alive. And what is exactly a memory landscape but a mental combination of experiences’ fragments deformed by the time passing of and always overlapped by another ones?

Post diaries is based on these landscaped and proposes these recordings recreation in order to keep this shared experienced alive. It also proposes a discussion about the time passing effects on our memory. Post diaries opens a discussion on media intense, daily and massively reconstruction of reality effects on our memories and about the created fiction of keeping alive media and memories.
