The IMEC is the national centre for archives. It "collects, preserves and showcases archival collections and studies devoted to the major publishing houses, journals and individuals playing a role in publishing and contemporary creative expression: publishers, writers, artists, researchers, reviewers, graphic designers, booksellers, printers, playwrights, translators, reporters…"
Working on the notion of memory and the traces we leave behind us, For Want of a Better explored this question using film, sound, text and music. Using only elements collected at the IMEC and its immediate surrounds, Meduses is an evocative, dream-like piece, which troubles our relation to memory, both collective and individual.
