Text: Remembering Dwelling Thinking by Massimo Chiappetta.

There are personal memories, cultural memories, universal memories. The form of memory is remembrance and vice versa. Without remembering we do not dwell, we do not think, without memory we are not human. For there to be the form of memory and memory to show itself in a form, the sign of remembering must emerge and remain within us.       When we remember individually, a shared, exposed memory has not yet emerged; it must manifest itself through the production of a sign. There are ephemeral signs and lasting signs, some aspiring to the perennial. Signs serve as traces of memory, manifesting it.
