MEMORY STICK // BODYWORD FESTIVAL // SAINT PETERSBURG // SPRING 2021
MEMORY STICK
performance by Josef Ka
for
BODYWORD festival
A memory stick is a device for storing information. I took a literal translation, which refers to the times when the stick was used as a teacher’s tool. In the story, invented for the WORD AND BODY festival, a tree that grows in my garden will act as such a stick. The tree that teaches me.
