Passi (O quel che si ricorda)

Overview

There is only one objective way to see the past, and that is through photos or videos. Yet, when watching an old family movie, we often find that this objective view of past reality clashes dramatically with the representation or narrative that has been created in our memory today. The trend is reversed, but it is the same feeling of confusion or sweet bitterness as when, in the present, you go to a place that had remained confined to memory and rediscover it as unfamiliar. It could be called the "lost in translation effect," referring to all those pieces that, in the translation from one time to another, from memory to vision, no longer fit.
