Recuerdos is a collection of moments of the artist’s family in Mexico, serving as the first instance of video documentation of del Carmen’s family. Collaging together Super 8, Mini DV, digital video, and field recordings, the artist reconstructs a scrapbook of her family to account for the years and generations that slipped by invisibly. To document, preserve, and archive these memories serves as an act of resilience, powerfully asserting “we are here, we existed.”
