“A Mental Image of the World” is an ongoing research project and artistic production, which deals with the concepts of territory, cartography, archive and memory. Here, we inquire about different ways to understand the territory we live in, with its borders and the different practices to map and represent it. How does living in an unknown territory affect our body memory? What are the borders of a territory? How do we construct mental images of our world? How can we represent the changes, complexities and tensions coexisting and overlapping in the same space?

“The bruises of things are deciphered, and then subjected to interpretation. Things are made to speak—often by subjecting them to additional violence. The field of forensics can be understood as the torture of objects, which are expected to tell all, just as when humans are interrogated. Things often have to be destroyed, dissolved in acid, cut apart, or dismantled in order to tell their full story. To affirm the thing also means participating in its collision with history”
