Neretva Recollection: Materiality of War, Flowing Memories and Living Archive

2019-07-01

The body is an unfolding archive, containing material layers, fossilized remnants of past memories, skin lesions of still visible trauma. The body is a daily carrying agent of intersections, between the outside-inside and inside-inside, in which there is a radicality in considering the ongoing daily or domestic for the institutional. The archive could be an unfolding institution, where fluid embodiments are archived, bodies collide onto Others, objects transfer knowledge, and events are mapped. The body and the archive are both subject to time; time as carrier of events, time as agent in the impermanence or transience of material, narrative, and memory. Time as challenger of the techniques and stability of knowledge. Transitioning the fossilized narratives in trauma is to disrupt the notion of archiving, through movement in its collection, transferring the knowledge from the fixed object.
