I was born in 1991 at the peak of media technology, I think not only of historical memory but also of digital memory. Being in contact with filming, editing and sound recording of images since 2008 (the year when I edited a video for the first time) made me develop a vision of reality in an audiovisual way. But everyday, I think: "How to work with digital images in the present so full of images?"
