DEMOLITION OF THE MEMORY

Demolition of Memory are news extracted from the press. It raises the transformation and manipulation of the news from a subjective and somewhat cynical point of view. The new news does not follow the conventional informative rigor, but proposes different channels to reach the public.

We all transform and manipulate the news, as usual. Reality is harsh and unpleasant at times, which is why we subject it to a continuous exercise of interpretation.

In the written text of the newspaper, its informative function disappears, transforming it into a memory of the text that was, becoming an indecipherable hieroglyph. The word gives way to the image (also manipulated), but with a greater narrative capacity.

They are usually characters who observe things from a different distance, absorbed, pensive, oblivious to the action taking place there. The news takes on a dimension for which it was not conceived, it becomes an aimless allegory, a utopian desire to want to reach the reality of what happened there, a chimera at the moment it passes through the sieve of man.
