Space Invaders

Remembering is a verb, a present act. When we remember, we relive in part what happened and at the same time we confront it with the present moment in which we are. We resign. Past and present merge in this exercise of dream and memory. The voices of "Space Invaders" are condemned to a dream, they cannot wake up despite the fact that they are already adults. The dream repeats itself and repeats itself. There is something there that is not resolved. That despite the time does not leave them alone. That happens a bit in Chile. The traces of that dream are in our bodies and we cannot leave it behind. It repeats and repeats. It is a feeling of vertigo and nightmare that comes over me when I think of the trapped voices of "Space Invaders". [...] That's where I came across something that has been an axis of research ever since. The impossibility of building unique memories, sealed or official truths. Then my interest was opened in trying to understand our collective and personal memory processes. How we remember, what we remember when we remember, what we make into fiction, what we forget, what it is to remember together and, above all, the difficulty of generating a collective memory.
