Memory Is an Animal, It Barks with Many Mouths

In Eva Giolo’s latest work, memory is not a whisper but a wild chorus, echoing through the valleys of the Dolomites in Northern Italy. Breath becomes vibration, and vibration becomes voice, as the Ladin language, a protected Rhaeto-Romanic tongue, is spoken by children who conjure up myths through stone, plants and water. Sound and image come together like different playthings in a child’s hand, journeying simply to wander. Giolo invites us into a space where memory is luminous, not linear—where stories bark with many mouths, and the past lingers just beneath the surface. (Hyun Jin Cho)
