Why, thinking in one way, we organize information in a completely different way?
This work is an initial sketches, allowing you to get acquainted with the archive in the same way that we interact with information: we perceive and interpret events, remember and tell our stories. It is an associative connection between several audio and video documents from the archive and the author’s text.

Special thanks to Evgeni Rogozin for sound “Laugher”.
