The Silence of Mr. M.E.M.N. (1938-2012) sets the stage for an autobiographical narrative of a family as they commemorate the death of a close relative. The memory of a moment in time is represented through a composition of evocative props that allude to mourning rituals. The weight of absence is materialized as a tour of objects in space.
