MEMORIES OF AN UNBORN SUN aims to articulate a metaphysical query around light as a form of memory, blending archives from French nuclear tests in the Sahara, viral footage of an artificial sun rising in the sky and verses from Tuareg poet Hawad. As this nightless world embodies the capitalist utopia of infinite growth, how to remember those made invisible? Exiled workers and past ghosts.
