Searching In Amnesia is a performative laboratory for a dystopian model explored by the sheesh collective – Daria Nazarenko and Lou Le Forban
It is the narrative of two characters that survived a solar storm that erased all digital memories. Evolving in amnesia, they try to explore and understand the world. They encounter different abandoned objects to which they assign new functions. They create rituals. In this possible future, language has disappeared, therefore communication and understanding of reality are passing through the human body and light signals.
