DO YOU REMEMBER DAD WAS A GREAT SWIMMER?


Video installation combining VHS footage of my childhood home with staged sequences in which I reenact fragments of my father’s life through stylized gestures, dressed in references to Tom Ford Gucci era. Subtitles appear without context, introducing fragmented memories (“dad loved swimming, do you remember?”), while the absence of spoken dialogue shifts the work between documentation and fiction. Monotype objects were presented alongside the video, extending its focus on memory as a physical and performative trace.
