Using Memories to Obliterate the Past
Despite focusing on ‘memory and moment,' this narrative also embraces the interaction between the terms; ‘memory-retention’ and ‘nihility — fluidity’. It clarifies that remembering and forgetting interrelates us with life. That is why living with the consciousness of forgetting explains the hegemonic relation constructed on memory. Then it asks; where we escape in this mnemonic-narrative, if the charge of hegemony is too much? Can we cure the oppression of remembering via forgetting? If the memories are for forgetting past, can we find any place that memories are hidden? Where the forgotten one is hidden?
Within this contradiction, body becomes the space of forgetting and remembering, individual and social memories engage. Now we have a secure space: dawn of soul and the anxiety of existence: the flesh! Still the flesh can’t bear the anxiety of existence as the ‘moment and memory’ become neutral via collision of individual and social memory. Soul and flesh are amphibious and the ‘value’ becomes unmeasurable from now on. The more nihility gazes the cycle of memory, the more it becomes an actor as a nihilist. Finally, volition matters. Need for volition interacts with the dwelling within the narrative. Same as the actor (on the photos) looking for a secure space for himself and trying to incarcerate his memories to get rid of!
So the actor in the world of no-where, seeks for his own image and memory to testify himself, bear the witness of own memory to say: ‘I was there, believe me!’ (Ricoeur,2012). Finally, the idea of seeking secure space for ‘memory and moment’ reproduce anxiety for both producer and the spectator.
Duality of fettle is deleted now. Form is disappeared. Narrative asks for immanence, no memory else!
