LOST, LOST, LOST, 2005

With the same title as the 1976 film by the Lithuanian director Jonas Mekas (1922), “LOST LOST LOST”, brings together a series of sixteen photographs articulated within a sole concept: memory. The uprooting and the lack of a social and cultural reference provoked by Mekas’s sudden removal from Europe during World War II towards the hustle and bustle of New York City were without doubt determining factors for a series of films that marked his cinema activity over several decades.

In the same manner as Mekas, this work was conceived as excerpts of memory in which fragments of bodies, urban landscapes, objects, empty beds or abandoned spaces draw out the front line between reality and fiction, thus creating a whole universe of those who we might call “displaced” with his camera.
