mut (2023)


mut found its point of departure in conversations with Evelina Pente regarding elements of jee chan's work harbor. Watching recordings of jee's grandmother recounting her memories, Evelina Pente felt reminded of and began to recollect episodes from her own past.  In mut, Evelina shares with us stories of her escape from war as a young child, which in turn translate to our own imaginations, refracted through the lens of our own experiences. Fragmentary and dissonant, these landscapes of memory take shape like composite maps mapping meandering topographies of living and dying in a senseless world. The work takes shape as a long-durational performance installation in which the fluid and cyclical nature of memory becomes manifest.
