Capital Memories presents a multimedia installation in which sounds and images interact, revealing aspects of the Brazilian’s capitals. The proposal to shuffle the established geopolitical division, diluting predetermined boundaries, has sounded out and amplified sounds, remixed and distributed in the pavilion. In this poetic, the emotional geography of these narratives is always in the foreground. The paths of this journey are like threads of memories that come loose and get tangled in new contexts.
Capital Memories records sounds, signs, rituals, feelings, places, habits, cultural traits and living spaces experienced by those born in the main cities of the country and lived their daily lives. These individual assets – memory sometimes fuzzy, emotional or critical – feelings of belonging to a place in time and space are socialized with the public revealing that the memory is dynamic. It is not stuck in the past, establishes links with the future and, above all, it is a collective force that unifies and form identities.
