One video channel shows people talking about a certain monument that was presumably erected to memorize the Catastrophe, but their speech falls apart, and we cannot compose a single image of either the monument or the catastrophe that happened to these people. Their speech is too desintegrated, their evidences get confused, their memory slips away, and the catastrophe remains dissolved in the air, like the city that appears on the screen in the form of fragments washed away by rain. On the other video channel, a person interacts with monuments, exploring the possibilities of juxtaposing her body and the stone bodies of historical catastrophes.
