“Recollective …..” deconstructs the relationship between history and fiction through the visual dialogue of their representation. In particular, the piece weaves together two archives from the early cinema: King Rama V’s Visit To Europe (1897) and Georges Méliès’s A Trip To The Moon (1902). By projecting scattered pieces of both films, the piece dismantles traditional cinematic presentation, proposing instead a cinematic situation where revisiting the archive becomes an open montage. In such a situation where the unified presentation of the cinema fractures, the act of recollecting reveals the minor storyteller’s potentiality to reclaim narratives from the history itself.
