“Amnesia” is an immersive installation conceived as a five-stage painting performance.  On a circular canvas, memory comes to life, its pulse, its vitality, its loss and whatever is left of it. Light, in contact with the material of the canvas, becomes real in colour, becomes tangible. The colour starts to orchestrate a dance of visual and sound compositions that trace the pulse of life and memory, only to disappear and open the way for the next moment.
