Patricia Allio Autoportrait à ma grand-mère

Performance

“Fortunately someone thought of taking photos, otherwise we’d have seen nothing.”

This is what Patricia Allio’s Breton grandmother tells her when she loses her memory. She becomes a dazzling mirror for the author. The portrait becomes a self-portrait. What remains of our ties when memory fades?
