Connecting single pieces: areas, memories and childhood games

The memory emerges as an islet, a loose piece in the space of oblivion. Other times it appears as an archipelago that memory reconstructs by traversing and connecting loose pieces, which are cured as invisible, fragile, evanescent threads.We will try to approach, today as adults, to the places and times of our childhood, to the places lived -domestic, rural or urban-, to those areas of our childhoods that play today with us as our being a child played with them.
