The speed of each image sewn together with the speed of each image in the blink of an eye. For what is worth, memory remains intact after all. The walls turn outwards, emerge from the darkness, vibrate. Sound accompanies things, signs, seemingly disordered fragments. Ana Hatherly is the director-weaver of this monument in honor of the immediate 25th of April. Alive, crazy and praised for its vertiginous editing, “incoactive mosaics”, to use a felicitous expression by Marie-José Mondzain. And this is where we find ourselves: the images fit together and are resurrected in their fragility, and yet they disturb the eye and it wouldn’t be too much to say that they are disturbing, now, because of the lived and the vivid. And how delicate were what we’ll call Hatherly’s “attrapées”. In the whirlwind of sounds, the “attrapées” parade down to the black cloth. We won’t know if it’s mourning, there’s no concern to mark it. Looking at that moment from this distance, it is possible, for those who wish, to relive the joys, to breathe in everything that Hatherly shows to the rhythm of every heart. It’s not cinema in sight, but an enormous love story, “things” that the director tells us or gives us. Whatever. You can guess life, death and life again. A cycle of happiness for those who arrived here and a misery of soul for those who fled Portugal. And thus explains how yesterday and today have resulted in the word Always.
