À la Recherche du temps perdu
A project by and with Est Coulon
Dramaturg Gaia Ginevra Giorgi
“À la Recherche du temps perdu” is a performative project that explores embodied memory and the relationship between body, time, and space. It is based on a repetitive practice: in 2022, Est Roman Coulon began transcribing the novel In Search of Lost Time onto loose sheets of paper, which he then glues together, creating an ever-longer leporello. On the back of each page, he writes the date and the location where the transcription takes place. This paradoxical object, both unique and devoid of value (its value lies exclusively in the time spent on its creation), serves as a device of archiving that preserves the memory of the subsequent places where it takes shape.
