In this episode of the Slow Memory Podcast, members of the COST action travel to Brussels to explore the House of European History’s Present Pasts exhibition through the lens of “slow witnessing.” Guided through powerful photographic projects that reimagine how Europe remembers, they focus on two striking case studies: Julien Sales’ Glacier, The Last Image, a haunting self-portrait of a disappearing glacier, and Hugo Passarello Luna’s Nostalgie de la Boue, which blurs the line between First World War history and reenactment. Reflecting on these works, the curators show how slowing down to notice details, connections, and emotions can deepen our understanding of memory as a living, complex presence.
