Memory boxes or multimedia files stored on my external hard disk was the trigger for a trilogy about my memory through the digitised images of my own video tapes (renouncing the analogue) and the assumption of a non-physical, nostalgic and ghostly material. From this experience emerged my three most personal films, because they are self-referential: Color Runaway Dog (2009-2011), Dress Rehearsal for Utopia (2012) and First Symptoms (2015). I will explain the causes and the decisions I made during the editing process that reaffirmed my desire for aesthetic freedom and personal writing.
