The work as a place of memory

The work as a place of memory

Memory is elastic: it can be configured at will - and will it must. This requires a certain asceticism, of course, because in numbers, relief is lost: to choose is to renounce, said André Gide. And that's the key: to reduce the quantity of content that crosses our consciousness, to pay attention with discernment, so that certain content becomes a node in a memory network that can be chiselled like a work of art.
