Another story starts with some fruits made of almond-paste. Almondpaste
|
||
|
|
from Sicily was rolled between hands in Barcelona and Connie
|
||
|
|
chose to make a Nispero. \
|
||
|
|
Nispero is a spring fruit, and this was autumn, so when Iris and Rosa
|
||
|
|
searched for it in the shops, they ended up bringing plums home. Home
|
||
|
|
was the place were Iris was living together with Azahara and Giulia,
|
||
|
|
so plums were eaten in the morning for breakfast accompanied with
|
||
|
|
Antonia’s recently made coffee. Coffee was served while awaiting Julia,
|
||
|
|
coming with her son Victor, and later on Mafe proposed an exercise
|
||
|
|
that consisted of writing another story.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The story goes, Connie bought 4 nispero fruits in Austria where it is
|
||
|
|
called Wollmispelfrucht because it reminded her of one of the places
|
||
|
|
she used to live in the past. Past midnight Mia tried some for the first
|
||
|
|
time in her life, Ulla had some too and the baby in her belly, later known
|
||
|
|
as Mika, tried some for the first time pre-life as well. Well-formed, round
|
||
|
|
and smooth; Ulla found the seeds of the fruits surprisingly beautiful
|
||
|
|
and kept them in the communal kitchen, a small paper cup with them
|
||
|
|
all inside. Inside esc one evening, before going to drink schnapps with
|
||
|
|
Norbert, Connie had to video-call another collective she is in. In an
|
||
|
|
effort to distract her attention back to us, Antonia took two of the
|
||
|
|
seeds and spat them across the room, where Mia was standing, who
|
||
|
|
spat them back. Back at work the next day Connie gave these two seeds
|
||
|
|
to Mia who took them to Brussels where nispero is mostly called néfle
|
||
|
|
or loquat by the inhabitants. Inhabiting Brussels, Azahara, who knew
|
||
|
|
Connie and Antonia from a different collective, got one seed, the other
|
||
|
|
one took many weeks to germinate and springup. Up until now it has
|
||
|
|
grown, but it has not yet born any fruit other than this story.

Memory is a fragile thing, and it's hard to tell what a good reminder
|
||
|
|
is. Sometimes a simple smell is enough to bring you back to childhood,
|
||
|
|
sometimes a modest receipt evokes an entier day full of emotions.
|
||
|
|
What should be kept, as evidence or reminder of someone or some collective
|
||
|
|
working process ? How to catch the moments that shape a person or a group ? \
|
||
|
|
Usually, we take pictures of what we think on the spot is a good (future)
|
||
|
|
memory, or we write postcards to share it with friends. Doing so, we
|
||
|
|
usually avoid sad memory or moment of conflict, even though they are
|
||
|
|
important too (maybe even more). \
|
||
|
|
For example : how to remember when such a conflict starts ? Or the
|
||
|
|
breakpoint between a conflictual sitation that eventually lead to something
|
||
|
|
deeper and more destructive like a break of trust ? \
|
||
|
|
It's usually something you'd try to escape as a group, if not individually.
|
||
|
|
As it might lead to the end of the group itself, who cares to take a
|
||
|
|
picture then ?
