A place where memory stays alive.
Every person has a showcase: behind the glass, the urn, the portrait and the objects that tell who they were. The family arranges it; those who pass by stop.
The showcase is furnished
The glasses, the coffee cup, the rosary, a letter. Every object has a caption that opens with a touch.
Nothing is ever erased
Concessions last ten, twenty, fifty years, or forever. One euro in three is set aside in a custody fund.
The words unsaid
What one doesn't have the courage to say in life, sealed and delivered only afterward, to whoever is chosen, whenever it is chosen.
Atrahasis is the Mesopotamian hero of the flood, the exceedingly wise one who saves life and memory beyond the catastrophe. This is where the name of this ark comes from.
