‘I Remember’ is a collective biography of grief and loss in the 21st century. It is a collaboration, a narrative landscape, an evolving archive, a scrolling poem.
What are you losing? How are you grieving? What do you remember? Who have you lost?
This site is collecting memories and imaginaries for us all.
Please add yours.
I would be immensely grateful for contributions on death and grief in the time of Covid-19, especially by patients, their loved ones, medical professionals and key workers.
The I Remember site is part of Grief – A Work in Progress, a series of audience participatory interventions that explore, record and archive the anatomy of loss in the 21st century.
Seeing the coffin for the first time at the crematorium and feeling nothing at all. I remember being terrified I wouldn't be able to remember everything.
you getting lost at Heathrow airport and thinking it's your last trip abroad. I remember the only moment on my wedding day that you seemed to understand what was going on.
your tender kiss on my forehead, every night, every morning, every time I visited. Making the sign of the cross every time we took a stroll underneath the Acropolis.
all the bad things and feeling lost without her. Telling me not to google what stage 4 means. Feeling exhausted while caring for her. How sad I was when I realised I had no recent photos of us together.
her being too tired to talk and the last words I said to her the night before. Getting to the hospital and being told she had already gone. Saying "I love you" to my mum every day.
how much you loved Chelsea FC and looking so sad when I told you I supported Spurs. You were the dad I never had. You fighting with my aunt's husband to protect her and the children.
