Patchwork Man by David Maroto

David Maroto presents Patchwork Man in Transfer Lounge. Patchwork Man is inspired by Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borge’s short story Funes the Memorious. The story begins with a character who, after an accident, is able to remember every moment of his life. The consequences are, however, other than in Borge’s tale. Patchwork Man tells us how he found out that his life was a permanent borrowing of ideas, feelings and desires in which it is eventually impossible to distinguish anything to be called “me”. Patchwork Man is shown as sound piece in Forja Arte Contemporáneo, Valencia, and as video installation in Space, Pittsburgh.

La historia comienza con un personaje que, tras un accidente, es capaz de recordar cada momento de su vida. Las consecuencias son, sin embargo, diferentes de las del relato de Borges. Patchwork Man nos cuenta cómo descubrió que su vida era un préstamo permanente de ideas, sentimientos y deseos en los que finalmente es imposible distinguir algo a lo que llamar “yo”. Patchwork Man se muestra como pieza sonora en Forja Arte Contemporáneo, Valencia, y como vídeo instalación en Space, Pittsburgh.
