"Oblivion, that creator in reverse, never stops working in silence. Is he not the angel who watches over the free circulation of our images, choosing between those that suit us and those that don't ? His presence is constant in the darkness of ourselves, where nothing matches the delicacy of his processes, the discretion of his eraser strokes. Memory, of course, continues to make its presence felt, suddenly appearing with the violence and pathos of its images and obsessions, the visual, the auditory and the others."

Forgotten memory
