How can a person suffering from Alzheimer’s still tell their own life?
In the common room of an Alzheimer’s clinic, music from the radio mixes with the low volume clatter of plates, the steps, the door movements or the quiet click of a light switch. The acoustic landscape triggers the dancing of an old lady in a wheelchair. She “remembers”.
A_biography recollects through drawn animation, point by point, the emergence of a memory exactly where it seems lost – remembering: the possibility of being at a “point of view”. This process takes place in a gliding state of constant transformation on the surface of a now closed body of memory.
A_biography is not a fictional biography. A_biography realizes a biography as fiction.

A slide projector in the dark loops a carousel of slides; some found, some new, contrasting a pastoral idea of England with a dull reality. Accompanied by an audio collage recorded on the A13, London.
