Informe de ausencia

Abstract

The project explores memory through the absence of the author's father, who passed away when she was 7 years old. Luisa Fernanda reflects on the dynamic nature of memory, its connection to forgetting, and the ability to connect past and present in the creative exercise. The author describes how the loss of her father gave her the opportunity to create a world with its own rhythms and speeds, allowing her to weave new relationships with memory. Through a series of fragments of time and personal reflections, she examines how we construct and resignify memories, influenced by social context and individual experiences. She explores the human need to glorify the past and how collective memory shapes identity. The report includes letters to her father, transcripts of conversations with her mother, and other documents that reconstruct the image of her father from fragments and external accounts. The author also considers the subjective and contextual nature of memory, highlighting the possibility of constructing new narratives from diverse perspectives.
