Still from 'Maman' (2019)
The constitution of a memory is an incredibly subjective process. Coming to terms with the untimely death of my mother I realised that my memory of her was vague. She died the year the first IPhone was introduced to the world. Ever since this event, the production of memory has radically changed. Over the years memories have become a commodity, something that has little to do with imagination. With this film I wanted to dwell upon the incompleteness of the memory and its ability to harbour different truths.
