The Body Remembers
Visual Arts and Architectural Design / Department of Architecture UCY
Description
The Body Remembers is a non-linear diary in which experiences are inscribed onto the body and, in turn, transform space. Each layer records a creator’s memories, and together they form a shared narrative rooted in childhood.
Maria’s memories revolve around everyday life, family and the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974. Anthia documents her journey of overcoming her fear of the sea and reconnecting with it. Antonia captures memories of singing, dancing and a family baptism, highlighting the relationship between memory, the body and place.
