How can a person with Alzheimer’s still recount their own life? When words have gone, all that is left are the sensations and sounds registered by the body. In the communal room of a clinic, music provokes an old lady in a wheelchair to dance. Entirely drawn and animated from memory with Indian ink on transparent paper, Une Biographie continues Alexander Schellow’s artistic work: a practice of drawing rooted in a performative process, based on the “reconstruction of memories”.
