“Dynamic List of Indelible Marks” is an art video that uses memory as a tool. Memory is a concept used in many countries to prevent the repetition of the worst part of their history as days of remembrance and as a way to create collective memory —a measure of prevention.  Memory and history are two different paths, it is said that history is written by the victors. Memory, on the other hand, is what is left to the rest of us to deal with; revisiting it helps us create culture and identity. These tally marks have served me in past art works to count the number of people who disappeared during Latin American military governments during the Cold War. The act of making tally marks on a black wall makes me realize that these tally marks do count many other things besides disappeared people. They count: days in detention, the x amount of reasons for impunity, mothers looking for their children, the amount of people participating in non-violent protest. The names mentioned in this video are some of the names of people that disappeared during military governments in Latin America.  The black wall reminds us of a school blackboard, it brings us back to learning processes before the digital era. The making of the marks is like conjuring all those souls letting them know that their disappearances and deaths were not in vain. The goal of this art video is to tap into the collective memory bringing awareness to the possibility of history repeating itself, and to create a better future through civil participation such as voting and no-violent protests. To stop counting is to save ourselves; to stop counting is to stay in our comfort zone. These tally marks are how I compare the past with the present and this is where we are at the moment.
